Scientific paper

We present an optical spectral atlas of the nuclear region (generally 2"x4", or r=<200pc) of a magnitude-limited survey of 486 nearby galaxies having BT=<12.5mag and {delta}>0deg. The double spectrograph on the Hale 5m telescope yielded simultaneous spectral coverage of ~4230-5110A and ~6210-6860A, with a spectral resolution of ~4A in the blue half and ~2.5A in the red half. This large, statistically significant survey contains uniformly observed and calibrated moderate-dispersion spectra of exceptionally high quality. The data presented in this paper will be used for various systematic studies of the physical properties of the nuclei of nearby galaxies, with special emphasis on searching for low-luminosity active galactic nuclei, or "dwarf" Seyferts. Our survey led to the discovery of four relatively obvious but previously uncataloged Seyfert galaxies (NGC 3735, 4395, 4639, and 6951), and many more galactic nuclei showing subtle evidence for Seyfert activity. We have also identified numerous low-ionization nuclear emission-line regions (LINERs), some of which may be powered by nonstellar processes. Of the many "starburst" nuclei in our sample, several exhibit the spectral features of Wolf-Rayet stars.
