The large, bright QSO survey. III - QSOs in six equatorial fields

Hewett, Paul C.; Foltz, Craig B.; Chaffee, Frederic H.; Francis, Paul; Weymann, Ray J.; Morris, Simon L.; Anderson, Scott F.; MacAlpine, Gordon M.

Description

Results from six new UK Schmidt Telescope equatorial fields are presented in which 335 QSOs have been found in a total area of 190 square degrees. The detection of 29 new QSOs in the four fields in Virgo, discussed in a previous paper, is also reported. Coordinates, magnitudes, redshifts, and spectra of moderate resolution and signal-to-noise ratio are presented for all 365 QSOs and for nine additional extragalactic objects which fail to meet the absolute magnitude criterion as QSOs.
