The results of our search for dwarf galaxy candidates are presented in
Table 1. The table columns contain: (1) running number; (2) 1950.0 epoch
(upper line) and 2000.0 epoch (lower line) equatorial coordinates;
(3) major and minor diameters measured visually with an accuracy about 15%
on blue (upper line) and red (lower line) films, respectively;
(4) morphological type in the usual designations; (5) rough estimate of
the mean
surface brightness: H - high (22-23) mag/
),
L - low (
24 mag/
), VL - very low (
25 mag/
),
EL - extremely low (
26 mag/
);
(6) total apparent blue magnitude from the NASA Extragalactic Database
(= NED) and galactic extinction from Schlegel et al. (1998) in the upper and
lower lines, respectively; in many cases where
values are absent in NED
we estimated total blue magnitudes visually with an error of
0.5 mag
based on the galaxy dimension
and surface brightness; (7) galaxy name in other catalogues and lists
as given in NED; (8) comments concerning galaxy membership, morphology
and radial heliocentric velocity.
Figure 1 displays
images of 81 dwarf galaxy candidates taken from
the Digitized Sky Survey. The objects of extremely low surface brightness
are practically invisible on the DSS.
