We present a second list of emission-line galaxies (ELGs) discovered during
our survey of nearby voids. The project aims to answer the question of
whether the giant galaxies are fair tracers of the large scale structure and
whether the voids are really empty. This paper is the third of a series of
papers dedicated to this project. The survey was based on a sample selected
from the HQS (Hamburg Quasar Survey) - IIIa-J digitised objective prism
plates and the main selection criteria was the presence of emission-lines,
mainly of the [OIII] 5007 line.
Positions, heliocentric redshifts, detected emission-lines and
finding charts are provided for ELGs in a region North of the Coma
Supercluster,
, centred around
. Most of the galaxies presented here are from the extreme faint
candidates, close to the detection limit of the photographic plates.
Brighter galaxies detected among the candidates of the same region
were discussed in Popescu et al. (1996) (Paper I). A few
redshifts of other emission line galaxies observed since the publication of
Paper I are also included; in total,
we present new redshifts for a total of 47 galaxies.
