Scientific paper

The first results of a UV-bright galaxy survey using the Montreal-Cambridge-Tololo (MCT) plate collection are presented. Visual inspection of 57 CTIO Curtis Schmidt plates, cnvering more than 1300 sq deg, has resulted in the identification of 95 UV-bright galaxies brighter than B = 15.5. Even though 80 percent of these objects are IRAS sources, barely 20 percent have their nature already established. The initial result of our survey shows that the bulk of our UV-bright candidates are narrow emission-line galaxies commonly known as starburst or H II galaxies. The fraction of AGNs found is somewhat less than 10 percent, but comparable to what has been found by the Markarian survey.
