Description:
The referenced paper describes the compilation of the second Kiso
UV-Excess galaxies survey as KUG2 catalogue. The result is shown
in VII/261. The first survey catalogue KUG1 is shown in VII/179.
As is described in the paper, there are some differences between KUG1
and KUG2, e.g. in photographic plates used and the observation
condition in the surveys, such as emulsions, exposures or seeing
sizes. The homogeneity of these KUG surveys is rather low, but their
catalogues form 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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): The classification scheme by Takase et al.(1983) 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. (1983).
