A Finding List of Faint UV-Bright Stars in the Galactic Plane. (2000)

Keywords :

Abstract:The survey lists the very blue objects found on the plates taken for the Sandage Two-Color Survey of the Galactic Plane obtained using the Palomar 48 inch Oschin Schmidt telescope. The sources range in U-B color from U-B~-0.1 to U-B~-1.0 and in magnitude from m_B_~10 to ~20. Introduction (by Nancy G. Roman): The Sandage two-color photographic survey was originally made in support of the UHURU X-ray satellite in order to identify those optical counterparts of the detected X-ray sources found in the galactic plane. During inspection of the plates, however, many UV-bright objects fainter than 10th magnitude were seen in the general ...(more)

The original author would like to thank Dr. R. J. Brucato for his assistance in the examination of some of the photographic plates for this two-color survey. Lanning and Meakes are very grateful to Dr. Peter Pesch for providing information regarding his unpublished observations of the high latitude sources noted in the text. They give special thanks to Dr. Allan Sandage for the opportunity to continue this survey. They also extend a special thanks to Dr. W. P. Bidelman who provided useful comments and information regarding the sources. They also greatly appreciate the ground-based observations taken by Dr. Alan Shafter (SDSU) and IUE data obtained by Dr. Al Schultz (CSC/STScI) in clarifying the classification of Lanning 185. Nancy G. Roman thanks Dr. Lanning for his help and particularly for a careful review of the files (Feb. 1997, corresponding to papers I-III)
