Title: Spectroscopy of unresolved blue objects from the Case Low-Dispersion Northern Survey

Journal Article · · Astrophys. J.; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1086/163353· OSTI ID:5681327

Sixty-seven unresolved objects with flat blue spectra that had no apparent features on the plates of the Case Low-Dispersion Northern Sky Survey have been observed at higher dispersion and to shorter wavelengths in order to determine their nature. The following classifications are proposed: 20 low-redshift QSOs (z greater than 1.7), two Seyfert 2 galaxies, 23 stars, and two variable objects. The spectra obtained for the remaining 20 objects were flat with no obvious features, but noisy, and these will need further observation. 5 references.
