Abstract:
We have searched the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty
centimeters (FIRST, VIII/71) and the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS,
VIII/65) 1.4GHz radio surveys for sources that are coincident with
emission-line galaxy (ELG) candidates from the KPNO International
Spectroscopic Survey (KISS). A total of 207 of the 2157 KISS ELGs
(∼10%) in the first two Hα-selected survey lists (Cats
J/AJ/121/66, J/AJ/127/1943) were found to possess radio detections
in FIRST, NVSS, or both. Follow-up spectra exist for all of the radio
detections, allowing us to determine the activity type (star-forming
vs. active nucleus) for the entire sample. We explore the properties
of the radio-detected KISS galaxies in order to gain a better insight
into the nature of radio-emitting galaxies in the local universe
(z<0.1).
Because of the selection technique used for KISS, our radio ELGs
represent a quasivolume-limited sample, which allows us to develop a
clearer picture of the radio galaxy population at low redshift. Nearly
two-thirds of the KISS radio galaxies are starburst or star-forming
galaxies, which is in stark contrast to the results of flux-limited
radio surveys, which are dominated by active galactic nuclei (AGNs)
and elliptical galaxies (i.e., classical radio galaxies).

Note (1): As listed in Salzer et al. (2001, Cat. J/AJ/121/66) and
Gronwall et al. (2004, Cat. J/AJ/127/1943).
Note (2): These are the optical positions tabulated in the survey papers
(Salzer et al., 2001, Cat. J/AJ/121/66; Gronwall et al., 2004,
Cat. J/AJ/127/1943) and have precisions of ∼0.25 to 0.30".
Note (3): If the galaxy was detected in both FIRST (VIII/71) and
NVSS (VIII/65), the FIRST flux value is listed. If only
detected by NVSS, the flux is corrected as in the text.
Note (4): The luminosity is calculated from the distances derived from the
listed redshift value (see section 3.4.1).
Note (5): Corrected for Local Group motion. Obtained from the follow-up spectra.
Note (6): This value is calculated from the angular distance between the peak
optical emission of the KISS object and the peak radio emission.
Note (7): Survey is designated as follows:
F = FIRST only
N = NVSS only
B = Both surveys
Note (8): ELG activity type as follows:
Sy1 = Seyfert 1
Sy2 = Seyfert 2
SB = Starburst or star-forming galaxy
LIN = Low-ionization nuclear emission-line region (LINER)
QSO = QSO
