Description
A low dispersion objective-prism survey for low-redshift emission-line galaxies (ELGs) is being carried out by the University Complutense de Madrid with the Schmidt telescope at the German-Spanish Observatory of Calar Alto (Almeria, Spain). A 4deg full aperture prism, which provides a dispersion of 1950A/mm, and IIIa-F emulsion combination has been used to search for ELGs selected by the presence of Hα emission in their spectra. Our survey has proved to be able to recover objects already found by similar surveys with different techniques and, what is more important, to discover new objects not previously catalogued. A compilation of descriptions and positions, along with finding charts when necessary, is presented for 160 extragalactic emission-line objects. This is the first list, which contains objects located in a region of the sky covering 270deg2 in 10 fields near α=0h and δ=20deg. (2 data files).
