Abstract:
The KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS) is an
objective-prism survey designed to detect extragalactic emission-line
objects. It combines many of the features of previous slitless
spectroscopic surveys with the advantages of modern CCD detectors and
is the first purely digital objective-prism survey for emission-line
galaxies (ELGs). Here we present the third list of ELG candidates
selected from our red spectral data, which cover the wavelength range
6400-7200Å. In most cases, the detected emission line is Hα. The
current survey list covers the region of the NOAO Deep Wide Field
Survey (NDWFS). This survey covers two fields; the first is 3°x3°
and located at RA=14h30m, DE=34°30' (B1950.0), and the second is
2.3°x4.0° and centered at RA=2h7m30s, DE=-4°44'. A total
area of 19.65deg2 is covered by the KISS data. A total of 261
candidate emission-line objects have been selected for inclusion in
the survey list (13.3deg-2). We tabulate accurate coordinates and
photometry for each source, as well as estimates of the redshift,
emission-line flux, and line equivalent width based on measurements of
the digital objective-prism spectra. The properties of the KISS ELGs
are examined using the available observational data.
Description:
All survey data were acquired using the 0.61m Burrell Schmidt
telescope.

Note (1): designations in Simbad are:
-- in Table2: KISSR NNNN
-- in Table4: KISSRx NNN
Note (2): For brighter objects, the magnitude estimates typically have
uncertainties of 0.05mag, increasing to ∼0.10mag at B=20.
Note (3): This estimate assumes that the emission line seen in the
objective-prism spectrum is Hα.
Note (4): This quantity, assigned during the line measurement step of the data
processing, is given the value of 1 for high quality sources, 2 for
lower quality but still reliable objects, and 3 for somewhat less
reliable sources.
