2. Observations

Most of the observations were carried out in 1995, 1996 and 1997 with the spectrograph CARELEC (Lemaıtre et al. 1989) attached to the Cassegrain focus of the Observatoire de Haute Provence (OHP) 1.93 m telescope. The spectrograph settings used during these runs are given in Table 1 (click here). The detector was a tex2html_wrap_inline1980 pixels, tex2html_wrap_inline1982 Tektronic CCD. The slit width was 2.1 arcsec, corresponding to a projected slit width on the detector of tex2html_wrap_inline1984, or 1.9 pixel. The resolution, as measured on the night sky emission lines, was 13.5 and 3.4 Å FWHM at low and high resolution, respectively. The spectra were flux calibrated using the standard stars given in Table 1 (click here), taken from Oke (1974), Stone (1977), Oke & Gunn (1983) or Massey et al. (1988).

Additional observations were made with EFOSC (Dekker et al. 1988) at the 3.6 m ESO telescope in La Silla during two runs in July 1995 and August 1996. The detector was the CCD ESO#26, similar to the one used at OHP. The dispersion was tex2html_wrap_inline1988; the slit width was 1.5 arcsec, corresponding to 2.2 pixels and resulting in a resolution of 15 Å. The wavelength range was tex2html_wrap_inline1990. The spectra were flux calibrated using the standard stars W 485A and GD 190 (Oke 1974).

The journal of observations is given in Table 2 (click here) and the list of the observed objects with relevant data, in Table 3 (click here). The spectra were analysed in terms of Gaussian components as described in Véron et al. (1997). Table 4 (click here) gives for each object the velocity, width and relative strength of each line, together with the adopted classification. Objects with broad Balmer lines were classified as Seyfert 1 galaxies, or QSOs whenever their absolute magnitude was brighter than MB = -23.0 (assuming tex2html_wrap_inline2150); Seyfert 2s and HII regions were distinguished on the basis of the value of the tex2html_wrap_inline2152 and tex2html_wrap_inline2154 line ratios (Veilleux & Osterbrock 1987). In some cases, the classification is based on a single line ratio, either tex2html_wrap_inline2156 or tex2html_wrap_inline2158. This is potentially dangerous; however we think that in most cases, there is no ambiguity, specially when tex2html_wrap_inline2160 (see Fig. 6a in Véron et al. 1997).
