Abstract

Spectroscopy and spectral types for 110 ultraviolet excess objects found in the Kiso Schmidt camera survey are reported. About half of the spectra were obtained with the McGraw-Hill 1.3 m telescope at 8 A resolution covering the wavelength interval λλ 4000-7200 using the Mark II spectrograph and Reticon detector system. The remaining observations were secured with the Mark III spectrograph attached to both the 1.3 m telescope and the new Hiltner 2.4 m telescope which yields about 12 A resolution in the same spectral range using CCD detectors. Descriptions of the spectra of some of the more peculiar objects found in this sample are given and include: 26 subdwarfs, 11 white dwarfs including a possible magnetic one, 14 quasars and 10 emission-line objects, and a new composite sdB + dM system.
