Abstract:
We have continued the surveys of ultraviolet-excess galaxies
(abbreviated as KUGs) with the 105cm Kiso Schmidt telescope for two
decades. The first survey was summarized in Takase and Miyauchi-Isobe
(1993b), which lists 8,104 KUGs in 5,100 square degrees area. The
second survey has been followed the first survey with a similar
method, and lists 1,985 objects in 1,860 square degrees area in 6
papers (Miyauchi-Isobe and Maehara 1998-2006), supplementing the first
survey.
The second survey is completed with this lists, because the similar
method (i.e. to use photographic plates) has become impossible at
Kiso Schmidt telescope.
There are some differences in photographic plates used and the
observation condition in the surveys, such as emulsions, exposures or
seeing sizes. Thus the homogeneity of the KUG survey is rather low,
but its catalogue forms a somewhat large collection of UV-excess/blue
galaxies. In these circumstances, we intend to merge both catalogues,
upon requests from investigators working in follow-up observations of
these galaxies.
In the process of catalogue merging, we met a systematic difference
between the first (KUG1) and the second (KUG2) surveys in overall
properties of objects, such as brightness, degree of UV-excess and
morphological type. This mainly originates from differences in the
observation condition and personal errors in the survey. We scrutinize
and discuss those differences and errors, and finally merge into a
comprehensive catalogue of KUGs (KUG2000) in the machine-readable form
including near ten thousand UV-excess galaxies.
Notice:
"catalog.dat" is the KGU2 catalogue which is printed in the
publication. One correction has been made after the publication, i.e.,
0709+286 has been eliminated because it overlaps with 0709+286A. The
comprehensive catalogue (KUG2000), which is the merged catalogue of
KUG1 and KUG2, is not published in the printed form. It is published
only in this catalogue service, as a separate catalogue. (See VII/995)

Note (1): The classification scheme by Takase et al.(1983AnTok..19..440T 1983AnTok..19..440T)
is as follows:
Ic = Irregular with clumsy HII regions
Ig = Irregular with a conspicuously giant HII region
Pi = Pair of interacting components
Pd = Pair of detached components
Sk = Spiral with knots of HII regions along arms
Sp = Spiral with peculiar bar and/or nucleus
C = Compact
? = Unclassifiable
Note (2): The image size (along the major and the minor axis) in minutes of
arc on the blue PSS print.
Note (3): The apparent (blue) magnitude, which is eye-estimated on the PSS
blue print referring to the known magnitude of the catalogued objects.
It is usually calibrated using Zwicky catalogues, and extended towards
fainter objects.
Note (4): The degree of UV-excess estimated from Kiso plates. H, M, and L
denote high, medium, and low degree, respectively. Further explanation
on the UV-excess is referred to Takase et al. (1983AnTok..19..440T 1983AnTok..19..440T).
