Objective-prism discoveries in the declination zone 0 deg to -20 deg

Abstract

An inspection of 130 10-deg-prism plates taken for the University of Michigan Southern Spectral Survey has yielded 154 new peculiar or otherwise interesting stars. The regions surveyed are mainly at fairly high galactic latitudes; this fills a gap in previous work of this type. About three-quarters of the objects will eventually be reclassified by Houk in a systematic work on all of the Henry Draper Catalogue stars, but many of these are of sufficient interest to justify early publication.
