Description:
The table contains the first results of a spectroscopic survey of
galaxies constructed from a flux-limited sample of stars, galaxies and
QSOs imaged at 2000Å with the FOCA balloon-borne imaging camera
(see Milliard et al., 1992A&A...257...24M 1992A&A...257...24M) The galaxies were selected
in the rest frame ultraviolet (UV), in Selected Area 57. Accurate
positions for the UV sources have been obtained by matching with
optical counterparts using APM scans of the Palomar Sky Survey limited
at B=20.5.
The results presented here are derived from optical spectroscopy
conducted with the WIYN telescope and the WHT for 142 faint sources.
The redshift distribution for this UV- selected sample extends over
0<z<0.5, and a high fraction of the sources show intense nebular
emission lines and UV-optical colours bluer than normal Hubble
sequence galaxies.
Updated results for these galaxies were published later (see Sullivan
et al. 2000, Cat. J/MNRAS/312/442)

Note (1): within 10" of the UV source if it was detected by FOCA 1500, or
within 20" if it was detected by FOCA 1000 only
Note (2): In Simbad, the objects are identified as <[TEM98] HHMMSS.ss+DDMMSS.s>
Note (3): T is the galaxy type index inferred from the model
UV-b colour-redshift relation
T = 1 to 8 refers to types E, S0, Sa, Sb, Sc, Sd, SB1 and SB2
respectively
T = 0 means that no colour information is available for the galaxy
