Description
The already published catalogue series I - XVII of the KUGs (Kiso Ultraviolet-excess Galaxies) has now covered the sky area of some 5,100 square degrees. The number of the KUGs detected is in total 8,968, giving the number density of 1.8 per square degree. After deleting the objects which appear repeatedly in some neighbouring survey areas, the net count of the KUGs results in 8,162. This may be an appropriate sample number for making some statistical study of the KUG, although the sky coverage is not yet sufficient. This catalog presents a merged version of the 17 catalogues, where all KUGs are arranged in order of the right ascension, for the convenience of users.
