Catalog Service: Ly{alpha}-emitting galaxies at 0.2<z<0.35
Description
We have used the GALEX (Galaxy Evolution Explorer) spectroscopic survey mode, with a resolution of ~8{AA} in the far-ultraviolet (FUV; 1350-1750{AA}) and ~20{AA} in the near-ultraviolet (NUV; 1950-2750{AA}) for a systematic search of Ly{alpha}-emitting galaxies at low redshift. Our aim is to fill a gap between high-redshift surveys and a small set of objects studied in detail in the nearby universe. A blind search of 7018 spectra extracted in five deep exposures (5.65deg^2^) has resulted in 96 Ly{alpha}-emitting galaxy candidates in the FUV domain after accounting for broad-line AGNs.

This is service that does not comply with any IVOA standard but instead provides access to special capabilities specific to this resource.
This is a standard IVOA service that takes as input an ADQL or PQL query and returns tabular data.
This is a standard IVOA service that takes as input a position in the sky and a radius and returns catalog records with positions within that radius.
