Description:
We present the observational results of our search for emission-line
galaxies (ELG) towards nearby voids. In order to find ELG, we started
a survey using the IIIa-J objective prism plates from the Hamburg QSO
Survey. The plates are digitized and an automatic procedure was
applied to select the candidates. Digitized direct plates were used to
determine coordinates and to reject overlaps between spectra. The
accuracy of the coordinates is ±2". A total area of 1248deg2 was
scanned, distributed in four different regions. All the selected
objects were observed with follow-up spectroscopy. We have obtained a
final sample of 203 objects, of which 196 are emission-line galaxies,
four are galaxies with absorption lines and three are QSOs. Almost
half of our objects are newly discovered ones and three quarters of
the given redshifts are new. Our sample contains mainly high
ionization galaxies and is less sensitive in the detection of
low-ionization objects. The apparent magnitudes, as derived from the
objective prism plates, range between 15.0≤B≤19.5. The sample is
dominated by nearby galaxies, with a peak in the redshift distribution
at cz=4500 km/s.

Note (1): The name is built with the prefix HS (from Hamburg Survey), followed
by the first four digits of the 1950.0 right ascension and declination
Note (2): Selection used to select the candidates from the objective prism
spectra: E for emission candidate (first priority), and
B for blue candidate (second priority)
Note (3): Number of the run in which the object was observed (with the prefix o
- from observed) or the code of the reference, when the object had
available redshift (with the prefix l - from literature,
detailed in the file "refs.dat").
The numbers of the observing runs are the same as listed in Table 2
(see Paper).
