Scientific paper

Spectra, positions, magnitudes, and colors are presented for 1400 faint stellar objects identified in a complete, ultraviolet-excess (UVX) survey. In total, 420 QSOs were identified, of which nine belong to the broad absorption line class of QSOs. A further 57 galaxies with narrow emission lines were found. Halo subdwarfs form the vast majority of the 824 galactic stars identified in this survey; the remaining galactic stars are comprised principally of hot white dwarfs (42 objects) and horizontal branch stars (nine objects). Updated versions of the QSO number-magnitude relation and luminosity function derived from this survey are also presented in this paper.
