This is the Hewitt & Burbidge (1991) Optical Catalog of Extragalactic Emission-Line Objects Similar to Quasi-Stellar Objects. It contains a total of 935 galaxies which have optical properties similar to QSOs. Most of the objects appear to be nonstellar. The majority, more than 700, have redshifts z that are <= 0.2, and most have been classified as Seyfert galaxies, N systems, or radio galaxies. The redshift distribution peaks at z ~ 0.025, but there are about 200 powerful radio galaxies in the extended tail of the distribution which have z > 0.2. There is a separate and distinct peak in the redshift distribution at z = 0.06. Notice that this catalog does not include star-like objects with emission-line redshifts >= 0.1 (these can be found in the HEASARC QSO database which contains the Revised and Updated Catalog of Quasi-Stellar Objects" of Hewitt, A. and Burbidge, G. 1993, ApJS, Vol. 87, pp. 451-947). Neither does it contain LINERs (sometimes called Seyfert 3 galaxies) or starburst galaxies. This database was created by the HEASARC in February 2001 based on CDS/ADC Catalog VII/178 (table1.dat). This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
