Emission-line galaxies from SDSS DR7

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present a sample of 2865 emission-line galaxies with strong nebular HeII{lambda}4686 emissions in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 and use this sample to investigate the origin of this line in star-forming galaxies.

Description

We show that star-forming galaxies and galaxies dominated by an active galactic nucleus form clearly separated branches in the HeII{lambda}4686/H{beta} versus [NII]{lambda}6584/H{alpha} diagnostic diagram and derive an empirical classification scheme which separates the two classes.

We also present an analysis of the physical properties of 189 star-forming galaxies with strong HeII{lambda}4686 emissions. These star-forming galaxies provide constraints on the hard ionizing continuum of massive stars.
