Abstract
We present the sixth list with results of the Hamburg/SAO Survey for Emission-Line Galaxies. The final list resulted from follow-up spectroscopy conducted with the 4.5 m MMT telescope in 1996, and with 2.2 m CAHA and 6 m SAO telescopes in 2000 to 2003. The data of this snap-shot spectroscopy survey confirmed 134 emission-line objects out of 182 observed candidates and allowed their quantitative spectral classification and redshift determination. We classify 73 emission-line objects as definite or probable blue compact or H.. galaxies (BCG), 8 as QSOs, 4 as Seyfert 1 and 2 galaxies. 30 low-excitation objects were classified as definite or probable starburst nuclei (SBN), 3 as dwarf amorphous nuclei starburst galaxies ( DANS) and 2 as LINERs. Due to the low signal-to-noise ratio we could not classify 14 ELGs ( NON). For another 9 galaxies we did not detect any significant emission lines. For 98 emission-line galaxies, the redshifts and/or line intensities are determined for the first time. For the remaining 28 previously-known ELGs we give either improved data the line intensities or some independent measurements. The detection rate of ELGs is similar to 70%. This paper completes the classification of strong-lined ELGs found in the zone of the Hamburg/ SAO survey. Together with previously known BCG/H II galaxies in this zone, this sample of similar to 500 objects is the largest to date in a well bound region.
