Description:
Markarian galaxies have a moderate to strong ultraviolet continuum as
detected by an objective-prism survey at Byurakan Observatory from
1965 to 1978. The survey was done with a 40-inch Schmidt telescope
with a dispersion of 2500 angstroms/millimeter at H-alpha. The catalog
contains no galaxies brighter than mag 13.0 or fainter than mag 17.5.
The catalog fields are Markarian Identification number; S(eyfert) or
Q(uasar) flag; cross identifications to other catalogs; B1950
positions; major and minor axis (arcsec); magnitude and spectral
types, including a code for the strength of the UV continuum.
This catalogue is superseded by the First Byurakan Survey (see the
"See Also" section below)
The original documentation was by Robert S. Hill and Lee E. Brotzman
in the "adc.doc" file (From the CD-ROM "Selected Astronomical Catalogs"
Vol. 1 (1992), directory "nonstell/galaxies/mkn")

Historical Notes:
The CD-ROM version contains two files with the same data, one ordered
by Mkn number, the second by right ascension. The latter was dropped.
