Abstract:
We present integrated optical spectrophotometry for a sample of 417
nearby galaxies. Our observations consist of spatially integrated,
S/N=10-100 spectroscopy between 3600 and 6900Å at ∼8Å FWHM
resolution. In addition, we present nuclear (2.5"x2.5") spectroscopy
for 153 of these objects. Our sample targets a diverse range of galaxy
types, including starbursts, peculiar galaxies, interacting/merging
systems, dusty, infrared-luminous galaxies, and a significant number
of normal galaxies. We use population synthesis to model and subtract
the stellar continuum underlying the nebular emission lines. This
technique results in emission-line measurements reliably corrected for
stellar absorption. Here we present the integrated and nuclear
spectra, the nebular emission-line fluxes and equivalent widths, and a
comprehensive compilation of ancillary data available in the
literature for our sample.
Description:
We obtain our spectrophotometric observations at the 2.3m Bok
telescope on Kitt Peak using the Boller & Chivens (B&C) spectrograph.
The B&C spectrograph is equipped with a Loral 1200x800 square-pixel
back-illuminated CCD with 15µm pixels.

adopted to avoid one or more foreground stars;
scan avoids star(s) = the drift scan center and length were selected
to avoid nearby bright stars.
