On the nature of the PHL objects. Identification charts of PHL objects in a field of approximately 40 square degrees centered at 0h53m and -11°.5 (1950).

Abstract

It is emphasized that the list of stars discovered by Haro and Luyten, on Palomar Schmidt plates, in the direction of the South Galactic Pole (PHL) contains objects of diverse types. The authors note the increasing number of objects in that Catalogue which turn out to be compact galaxies. Special emphasis is placed on the existence of a good number of quasi-stellar objects in the PHL catalogue and the increasing number of compact galaxies discovered and studied up to the end of 1986. For the objects found in the plate obtained with the Mount Palomar Schmidt Camera, centered on 0^h53^m and -11°.5 (1950), the corresponding numbers, the approximate coordinates and the identification charts are given.
