Description of the spectral categories (see also 1976PW&SO...2...57S) Be! spectra in which the only emission lines visible over the entire 3300A - 6800A range appeared to be those of hydrogen. Featureless continuum extending into the ultraviolet. Be! pec very strong hydrogen emission and also strong emission lines of neutral helium, singly ionized iron, or various other spectral features not frequently encountered on our plates. Peculiarities of the individual objects are given in the notes. Mep M-type stars having strong H-alpha emission but no evidence of HeII 4686A. VLE? suspected very-low-excitation nebulae. The [OIII] lines at 5007A and 4959A are either absent or very weak compared to H-beta, while the [OII] 3727A doublet is usually quite strong relative to H-beta. The low-excitation nebular line [NII] 6584A is also sometimes visible. X objects of unknown character exhibiting strong H-alpha emission but no higher-order Balmer emission, suggestive of a very steep Balmer decrement due to strong interstellar reddening. [OIII] 5007A also absent. Z Z Andromedae-like emission-line spectrum, i.e. a sharp HeII 4686A line in addition to strong hydrogen emission plus weak HeI and forbidden nebular lines in many cases. 'Z' used without a suffix indicates HeII and H-beta are comparable in strength. Z- HeII 4686A present but much weaker than H-beta. Z+ HeII 4686A significantly stronger than H-beta. Z? HeII 4686A suspected of being present. =============================================================================== Remarks on Table 1 o 'near-infrared' in this context means the far-red regime between about 7000A and 9000A (Kodak I-N sensitivity photographic plates). o 'Stellar' indicates the object appeared stellar on Radcliffe 74-inch plates by Westerlund & Henize (1967ApJS...14..154W). 1 A faint OB-like continuum appears in the ultraviolet, but no emission lines are seen in the blue-green region. 3 OB-like continuum in the ultraviolet. TiO bands appear veiled. No emission lines in the blue-green region. 4 Listed as symbiotic in Wackerling (1970MmRAS..73..153W = III/17B). In the GCVS this is listed as a suspected long-period variable with a period of 1374 days! added comment: this appears to be a secondary period. [BSkiff] 5 A system of strong absorption features appears just blueward of the lower Balmer members. There is some evidence of variable line emission. TiO bands are strong in both the visual and near-infrared. 7 This should not be confused with MWC 846, which is seen to be about 3' to the north on our plates. 8 Listed as symbiotic in Wackerling (1970MmRAS..73..153W = III/17B). Our spectrum, obtained 1968 February 26, is much different from that reported by Swings & Struve (1941ApJ....94..291S) in that we do not see 4686A, and 5007A is very weak relative to H-beta. 10 Spectrum described by Carlson (1968PhDT.........8C) as probably of P Cygni type. 11 Stellar. Considered a doubtful planetary by Webster (1966PASP...78..136W), but Henize (1967ApJS...14..125H) suspects the presence of 6584A. 12 Overlapping spectrum prevents a determination of the last resolvable Balmer line, but Henize (1967ApJS...14..125H) reports emission up to H-delta. 13 A well-known VV Cephei star showing exceptionally strong FeII and [FeII] emission. The hydrogen emission is apparently absent on our plates. 14 Stellar. A 5007A line is definitely present. 15 The lower Balmer members show violet absorption borders and the lines go entirely into absorption beyond H-delta. Also present are FeII emission lines. For additional details see Hiltner, Stephenson, & Sanduleak (1968ApL.....2..153H), and Carlson (1968PhDT.........8C). 17 The spectrum is not exactly as described by Henize (1952ApJ...115..133H) in that H-gamma is slightly stronger than H-beta on 1968 February 27. 18 Spectrum found to be of P Cygni type by Carlson (1968PhDT.........8C). 19 Numerous weak FeII emission lines are present in the spectrum according to Hiltner et al (1968ApL.....2..153H) and Carlson (1968PhDT.........8C). 20 added comment: not found, possibly an unrecovered dwarf nova. The DENIS catalogue shows a candidate of I = 18.3 at: 10 19 04.04 -57 11 13.1 (J2000); a second fainter candidate lies a few arcsec northeast. [BSkiff] 21 added comment: small bipolar nebula elongated in pa75 deg. [BSkiff] 22 added comment: small bipolar nebula elongated in pa20 deg. the ASAS-3 database shows smooth variation with ~1700d period (http://www.astrouw.edu.pl/cgi-asas/asas_lc/102134-5805.8). [BSkiff] 23 Spectrum is classified as P Cygni type by Carlson (1968PhDT.........8C), who also finds numerous weak [FeII] emission lines. We find no evidence of strong HeI 5876A reported by Henize (1952ApJ...115..133H). 24 Our plates show numerous weak emission lines, some of which appear to be those of FeII or [FeII]. 25 This object contains exceptionally strong HeI emission lines at 3889A, 4026A, 4471A, 4921A, 5016A, 5876A, and 6678A. See also Henize (1952ApJ...115..133H). 26 The spectrum of this eclipsing binary is discussed by Carlson (1968PhDT.........8C). He finds meany weak FeII emission lines. 27 This is the central star of the nebula PK 289-00 1. Strong HeI emission is reported by Carlson (1968PhDT.........8C), but it is not evident on our plates. 28 Stellar. Definitely not a planetary according to Webster (1966PASP...78..136W), but no details are given. 29 Weak [NeIII] 3869A is present and HeI 5876A is suspected. 31 The Balmer decrement appears shallow. Our position agrees with Wray (1966PhDT.........3W), but not with that given by Wackerling (1970MmRAS..73..153W = III/17B). 32 Listed as symbiotic in Wackerling (1970MmRAS..73..153W = III/17B). We suspect [OIII] lines at 5007A, and 3760A, and OIII at 3444A. Also see Henize (1952ApJ...115..133H) and Carlson (1968PhDT.........8C). 33 Shallow Balmer decrement. 34 Stellar. Webster (1966PASP...78..136W) found this to be a doubtful planetary. 35 A known VV Cephei star. See Henize (1952ApJ...115..133H) and Carlson (1968PhDT.........8C). 36 Stellar. Doubtful planetary according to Webster (1966PASP...78..136W). 37 A 5007A line suspected. 38 Discovered independently by Weaver (1972PASP...84..854W).

Weak 5007A present. 46 Stellar. Also shown to be definitely not a planetary by Webster (1966PASP...78..136W), who gives a description of the spectrum. 48 Westerlund & Henize (1967ApJS...14..154W) found a diameter of about 7", and Henize (1967ApJS...14..125H) reported 6584A present. 49 Shallow Balmer decrement. 50 Very strong sodium D lines are seen in accord with the findings of Carlson (1968PhDT.........8C), who also reports numerous FeII emission lines. 51 H-gamma slightly stronger than H-beta. TiO bands are suspected. 53 Stellar. 54 Stellar. Henize (1967ApJS...14..125H) reports 6584A present. 57 Stellar. Henize (1967ApJS...14..125H) reports 6584A in the spectrum. 58 Stellar. The very strong 6584A reported by Henize (1967ApJS...14..125H) is seen as a broadening of H-alpha on our plate. 59 Stellar. The spectrum contains rather strong nebular lines of [OIII] at 5007A and 4363A, and OIII at 3444A, as well as [NeIII] 3869A. 60 Listed as symbiotic in Wackerling (1970MmRAS..73..153W = III/17B). A 5007A line is suspected, but 4686A is much weaker in our spectrum of 1967 June 12 than in the spectrum obtained by Carlson (1968PhDT.........8C). 61 Stellar. 62 Stellar. Also classified as a nonplanetary by Webster (1966PASP...78..136W), but no details are given. 63 Stellar. Doubtful planetary according to Webster (1966PASP...78..136W). 65 added comment: no likely candidates. The star marginally detected by Allen & Glass (1975MNRAS.170..579A) is GSC 7371-0893 = UCAC2 16011173 about 30" SSE at: 16 51 16.15 -37 18 35.1 (J2000, UCAC2). [BSkiff] 66 Spectrum shows weak [OIII] lines at 5007A and 4363A, and OIII at 3444A. Wilde (1965PASP...77..208W) found evidence of spectrum variations. 67 Stellar.

HeI 6678A present. 70 Spectrum is discussed by Carlson (1968PhDT.........8C). An infrared objective-prism plate shows strong emission of OI 8446A. 72 In agreement with Carlson (1968PhDT.........8C), we find hydrogen emission very weak compared to strong HeI lines at 3889A, 4120A, 4471A, 4713A, 5016A, and 5876A. 73 Besides H-alpha, the visual region contains a single emission line that we can tentatively identify as [NII] 5755A. added comment: no likely candidates. The star observed by Allen & Glass (1975MNRAS.170..579A) is IRAS 17034-4522 about 2'.5 south at: 17 07 07.48 -45 26 31.9 (J2000, UCAC2).

Some evidence of variability in emission-line strengths. 78 This is object 255 in table 16 of Wray (1966PhDT.........3W) = Wray 16-255. 79 Definitely not a planetary according to Henize (1967ApJS...14..125H), but no details are given. 84 A 6584A line reported by Henize (1967ApJS...14..125H). 91 This object has a diameter of about 9" according to Westerlund & Henize (1967ApJS...14..154W). 93 Stellar. A doubtful planetary according to Webster (1966PASP...78..136W). 96 HeI 5876A is suspected to be present. 102 Henize (1967ApJS...14..125H) found 6584A in the spectrum. 104 Our plates also show the numerous emission lines of HeI and FeII reported to be present by Carlson (1968PhDT.........8C). 106 Our spectrum obtained 1965 March 31 differs from that described by Swings & Struve (1941ApJ....94..291S) in that we can see neither HeI 5876A nor HeII 4686A. 107 Although details are lacking, Henize (1967ApJS...14..125H) comments that this is definitely not a planetary nebula. 109 A 6584A line detected by Henize (1967ApJS...14..125H). 110 Note that this is not PK 356-04 1. Our plates show that the H-alpha is strongly variable. 112 Classified as symbiotic by Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H). 113 Henize (1967ApJS...14..125H) suspects the presence of 6584A. 115 Strong 6584A according to Henize (1967ApJS...14..125H). 116 Stellar. TiO bands are suspected in the visual region, while weak hydrogen absorption lines are seen in the blue-green. 118 This is star 64 of Velghe (1957ApJ...126..302V) = Ve 4-64. The coordinates agree closely with the Caltech infrared object IRC -20418. 119 Because of faintness we are unable to verify the G- or K-type absorption spectrum reported by Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H). 120 This is star 52 of Velghe (1957ApJ...126..302V) = Ve 2-52. TiO bands are suspected in both the visual and near-infrared. 123 This is object 11 in the list of Arhipova & Dokuchaeva (1971AZh....48..752A). The HeI lines at 5876A and 6678A appear remarkably strong compared to H-alpha. 126 Listed as symbiotic in Wackerling (1970MmRAS..73..153W = III/17B). 127 Stellar. 128 Rather strong [OIII] lines at 5007A and 4363A, and OIII at 3444A. 129 This appears in Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H) under the name T17, and is classified as probably symbiotic. 130 A 6584A line seen by Henize (1967ApJS...14..125H). 131 Stellar. 132 This is called T53 in the list of Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H), and classified as probably symbiotic. Our spectrum of 1967 August 3 shows strong 4686A and 4363A, but no evidence of other strong forbidden nebular lines noted by Herbig. Hoffleit (1970IBVS..469....1H) suspects variability in light. 134 This is star 57 in Velghe (1957ApJ...126..302V) = Ve 2-57. 136 Stellar. H-gamma appears slightly stronger than H-beta. 137 Stellar. Spectrum described by Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H). 138 Stellar. Probably symbiotic according to Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H). Hoffleit (1970IBVS..469....1H) finds no evidence of light variations. 139 Stellar. 140 Stellar. Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H) describes the spectrum. 141 This appears to be object 384 in table 16 of Wray (1966PhDT.........3W) = Wray 16-384. Our plates indicate strongly variable H-alpha emission. 143 The TiO bands are seen on both yellow-red and near-infrared objective-prism plates. 144 OIII lines appear at 3760A and 3444A, and HeII 4541A is suspected. 145 Stellar. Definitely variable in light according to Hoffleit (1970IBVS..469....1H), and probably symbiotic according to Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H). 146 Weak nebular lines appear at 5007A, 4363A, and 3869A. HeI 5876A suspected. See also Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H). 148 Classified as symbiotic in Wackerling (1970MmRAS..73..153W = III/17B). HeI 6678A present. 149 This star lies very close to but should not be confused with MWC 288. 151 The spectrum shows moderately strong HeI lines at 3889A, 4471A, and 5016A. Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H) suspects TiO bands. added comment: northeastern star of a 13" red pair. [BSkiff] 152 The spectrum is described by Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H). 153 This star is listed as T21 by Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H), and considered symbiotic. HeI 6678A may be present. 154 Stellar. Weak [OIII] lines appear at 5007A and 4363A. 155 Weak 5007A and 4959A are seen, and HeI 6678A is present. Probably symbiotic according to Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H). 158 H-gamma slightly stronger than H-beta. 160 This is variable star 52 in the list of Hoffleit (1972IBVS..660....1H). 161 FeII emission is suspected. See the description of the spectrum provided by Bidelman & Stephenson (1956PASP...68..152B). 162 A 5007A line suspected and HeI 5876A present. 169 FeII and [FeII] emission lines are conspicuous. 171 Classified as symbiotic by Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H). TiO bands were detected on a near-infrared objective-prism plate. 172 Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H) reports an M-type spectrum and considers this is a symbiotic star. Light variability suspected by Hoffleit (1970IBVS..469....1H). 174 Probably symbiotic according to Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H), and possibly variable in light according to Hoffleit (1970IBVS..469....1H). HeI 6678A may be present. 175 A strong K-line absorption would lead us to concur in the F-type classification given by Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H). 176 Classified as symbiotic by Herbig (1969PNAS...63.1045H). 177 Weak 5007A present.
