We conducted follow-up spectroscopy for the second part of candidates
from the Hamburg/SAO Survey for ELGs.
Summarizing the results presented, the analysis of the content of various
types of objects, and the discussion above, we draw the following
conclusions:
- The intended methods to detect ELG candidates on the plates of the
Hamburg Quasar Survey give a reasonably high detection rate of
emission-line objects ( 64 %) (134 objects of 209 observed
in this second part).
Additional selection criteria applied in comparison to the first,
pilot part increased the efficiency of follow-up spectroscopy
by a factor of about two.
- Besides of ELGs we found also 6 new quasars, all with Ly
in the wavelength region 5000-5300 Å (i.e with 2.9 < z < 3.35)
near the red boundary of the IIIa-J photoplates.
- The high fraction of BCG/H II galaxies among all newly discovered ELGs
(about 84 %) is in line with our main goal -- to pick up a deep BCG
sample in the sky region under analysis.
