Scientific paper

We present further spectroscopic observations for a sample of galaxies selected in the vacuum ultraviolet (UV) at 2000Å from the FOCA balloon-borne imaging camera of Milliard et al. (1992A&A...257...24M). This work represents an extension of the initial study by Treyer et al. (Cat. ). Our enlarged catalogue contains 433 sources (~3 times as many as in our earlier study) across two FOCA fields. 273 of these are galaxies, nearly all with redshifts z~0-0.4. Nebular emission-line measurements are available for 216 galaxies, allowing us to address issues of excitation, reddening and metallicity. The UV and Hα luminosity functions strengthen our earlier assertions that the local volume-averaged star formation rate is higher than indicated from earlier surveys. Moreover, internally within our sample, we do not find a steep rise in the UV luminosity density with redshift over 0
