Twenty five non emission-line objects are hard to classify at
all. Their continua have too low signal-to-noise ratio to detect
trustworthy absorption features, or the EWs of the emission lines are
too small.
Figure:
Colour distribution for the random sample of 42 second priority
candidates in the strip =35-40 (HS 1423+3945 is not included because
its APM-colour is not available).
The APM classification is shown by circles for stellar
and squares for non-stellar images. The filled symbols show the
emission-line objects identified by follow-up spectroscopy.
BCG/H II-galaxies are marked by an additional cross.
4 of 5 APM stellar-type
emission-line objects are either QSOs or distant luminous galaxies.
The horizontal line at (B-R) = 10 shows the colour limit for the
selection of BCG candidates among
the second priority objects classified as non-stellar in the APM.
