Abstract:
We present the CIDAUCMYale (Centro de Investigaciones de Astronomia,
Universidad Complutense de Madrid, and Yale University) Survey (CUYS)
for Hα+[NII] 6549, 6584Å emission-line galaxies (ELGs) using
objective-prism spectra. The most important properties of a catalogue
with 427 entries and significant subsets are analysed. The complete
sample contains 183 statistically confirmed ELGs in a sky area of
151deg2 and redshift up to 0.14. We determine the parameters of the
Hα luminosity function using the Hα+[NII] flux directly
measured on the ELG spectra in this sample, and the star formation
rate density derived is in agreement with values reported in the
literature.
Description:
The CUYS is being carried out on the 1-m Schmidt telescope located at
the Venezuelan National Astronomical Observatory, Llano del Hato,
Merida, Venezuela. Observations were performed in the second half of
1999 and the beginning of 2000.
