Abstract:
Results for Zone 3 of the Edinburgh-Cape (EC) Blue Object survey are
presented. This zone covers that part of the South Galactic Cap
between 40° and 50° from the Galactic plane and south of about
-12.3° of declination. EC Zone 3 contains 53 UK Schmidt Telescope
fields covering about 1400 deg2 in which we find some 534 blue
objects, including hot subdwarfs (∼39 percent), white dwarfs
(∼21 percent), cataclysmic variables (∼2 percent) and some star-like
galaxies (∼9 percent). A further 178 cooler stars observed in the
survey, including low-metallicity F- and G-type stars, are also
listed. Both low-dispersion spectroscopic classification and UBV
photometry are presented for almost all of the hot objects and either
spectroscopy or photometry (sometimes both) for the cooler ones.
Description:
The EC survey is limited to plate centres south of declination
delta=-15° and thus to a northern declination limit of about
delta=-12.3°. Zone 3 is additionally defined by selecting UK
Schmidt Telescope (UKST) fields which have centres with Galactic
latitudes in the range -40°<b←50°.
