Scientific paper

We present results of an objective-prism survey for nearby emission-line galaxies (ELGs) in the NOAO Deep Wide Field Survey (NDWFS) Boötes Field. This survey is part of the KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS) collaboration which has surveyed approximately 150 square degrees for Hα emission line galaxies out to a redshift of 0.1. KISS is the first purely digital objective-prism survey, and it extends previous photographic surveys to much fainter flux limits. We have discovered 130 additional ELG candidates in the NDWFS Boötes field, and have obtained follow-up spectroscopy on this entire sample. We present the magnitude, color, redshift, and spatial distributions of this sample based on the survey data. We also discuss science applications made possible by this sample, in particular improved calibrations of various star-formation rate indicators made possible by the multi-wavelength data available on this field including Spitzer IRAC and MIPS as well as GALEX observations.
