Scientific paper

Spectroscopy and CCD photometry have been obtained to investigate four galaxies reported to have unusually strong UV excess in their objective prism spectra. The spectra of CG 1293 (B152299+302942) and CG 1331 (B155442+295724) suggest they are Seyfert 1 galaxies, with z = 0.1260\pm0.0002 (standard error) and z = 0.0874\pm0.0009, respectively. H\alpha in CG 1293 has a line width (FWHM) of approximately 4 x 10$^3$ km s$^-1$. The H\alpha, H\beta, and H\gamma lines in CG 1331 have line widths greater than 7 x 10$^3$ km s$^-1$. Spectra for the galaxies CG 1280 (B150126+300206) and CG 1298 (B153025+315554) have no identified emission lines. We find M$_B$=-22.13 for CG 1293 and M$_B$=-22 for CG 1331, for H$_0$=50 km s$^-1$ Mpc$^-1$ and q$_0$=0.5. (SECTION: Quasars and Active Galactic Nuclei)
