The Edinburgh-Cape Blue Object Survey - II. Zone 1 - The North Galactic Cap

Results for Zone 1 of the Edinburgh-Cape (EC) Blue Object Survey are presented. This zone covers that part of the North Galactic Cap more than ∼30° from the Galactic plane and south of about -12°3 declination (although a few fields north of this declination are included). The zone effectively complements the Palomar-Green Survey in the North Galactic Cap, although the EC Survey should be more complete to a fainter limit (B = 16.5 mag) and to somewhat redder stars (U - B bluer than about -0.4). Zone 1 covers approximately 1560 deg2 and contains 675 blue objects for which we list equatorial coordinates accurate to ∼1 arcsec, UBV photoelectric photometry, and spectral types determined from moderate-dispersion (100 Å mm-1) spectrograms. © 1997 RAS.
