We present a catalogue of 3,305 H$alpha$ emission-line point sources observed with the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) in the vicinity fields of M31 and M33 during September 2011 and January 2016. The catalogue contains 1,487 emission-line stars, 532 emission-line nebulae including 377 likely planetary nebulae (PNe), 83 H~{textsc{ii}} regions candidates and 20 possible supernovae remnants (SNRs) and 1,286 unknown objects. Among them, 24 PN candidates, 19 H~{sc ii} region candidates, 10 SNR candidates and 1 symbiotic star candidate are new discoveries. Radial velocities and fluxes estimated from the H$alpha$ line and those quantities of seven other major emission lines including H$beta$, [O~{textsc{iii}}]~$lambda$4959, [O~{textsc{iii}}]~$lambda$5007, [N~{textsc{ii}}]~$lambda$6548, [N~{textsc{ii}}]~$lambda$6583, [S~{textsc{ii}}]~$lambda$6717 and [S~{textsc{ii}}]~$lambda$6731 lines of all the catalogued sources yielded from the LAMOST spectra are also presented in our catalogue. Our catalogue is an ideal starting point to study the chemistry properties and kinematics of M31 and M33.

We present a catalogue of candidate H{alpha} emission and absorption line sources and blue objects in the Galactic Bulge Survey (GBS) region. We use a point source catalogue of the GBS fields (two strips of (l x b) = (6 x 1) degrees centred at b = 1. 5 above and below the Galactic centre), covering the magnitude range 16 < r < 22.5. We utilize (r-i, r-H{alpha}) colour-colour diagrams to select H{alpha} emission and absorption line candidates, and also identify blue objects (compared to field stars) using the r-i colour index. We identify 1337 H{alpha} emission line candidates and 336 H{alpha} absorption line candidates. These catalogues likely contain a plethora of sources, ranging from active (binary) stars, early-type emission line objects, cataclysmic variables (CVs) and low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) to background active galactic nuclei (AGN). The 389 blue objects we identify are likely systems containing a compact object, such as CVs, planetary nebulae and LMXBs. Hot subluminous dwarfs (sdO/B stars) are also expected to be found as blue outliers. Crossmatching our outliers with the GBS X-ray catalogue yields sixteen sources, including seven (magnetic) CVs and one qLMXB candidate among the emission line candidates, and one background AGN for the absorption line candidates. One of the blue outliers is a high state AM CVn system. Spectroscopic observations combined with the multi-wavelength coverage of this area, including X-ray, ultraviolet and (time-resolved) optical and infrared observations, can be used to further constrain the nature of individual sources.
We present the fourth catalog of serendipitously discovered compact extragalactic emission-line sources -- H$alpha$ Dots. A total of 454 newly discovered objects are included in the current survey list. These objects have been detected in searches of moderately deep narrow-band images acquired for the ALFALFA H$alpha$ project (Van Sistine et al. 2016). The catalog of H-alpha Dots presented in the current paper was derived from searches carried out using ALFALFA H$alpha$ images obtained with the KPNO 2.1 m telescope. This results in a substantially deeper sample of Dots compared to our previous lists, which were all discovered in images taken with the WIYN 0.9 m telescope. The median R-band magnitude of the current catalog is 21.59, more than 1.6 magnitudes fainter than the median for the 0.9~m sample (factor of 4.4x fainter). Likewise, the median emission-line flux of the detected sources is a factor of 4.3x fainter. The line-flux completeness limit of the current sample is approximately 3 x 10$^{-16}$ erg/s/cm$^2$. We present accurate coordinates, apparent magnitudes and narrow-band line fluxes for each object in the sample. Unlike our previous lists of H$alpha$ Dots, the current sample does not include follow-up spectroscopy.
We present the second catalog of serendipitously discovered compact extragalactic emission-line sources -- H$alpha$ Dots. These objects have been discovered in searches of moderately deep narrow-band images acquired for the ALFALFA H$alpha$ project ( Van Sistine et al. 2016). In addition to cataloging 119 new H$alpha$ Dots, we also present follow-up spectral data for the full sample. These spectra allow us to confirm the nature of these objects as true extragalactic emission-line objects, to classify them in terms of activity type (star forming or AGN), and to identify the emission line via which they were discovered. We tabulate photometric and spectroscopic data for the all objects, and present an overview of the properties of the full H$alpha$ Dot sample. The H$alpha$ Dots represent a broad range of star-forming and active galaxies detected via several different emission lines over a wide range of redshifts. The sample includes H$alpha$-detected blue compact dwarf galaxies at low redshift, [ion{O}{3}]-detected Seyfert 2 and Green Pea-like galaxies at intermediate redshifts, and QSOs detected via one of several UV emission lines, including Ly$alpha$. Despite the heterogeneous appearance of the resulting catalog of objects, we show that our selection method leads to well-defined samples of specific classes of emission-line objects with properties that allow for statistical studies of each class.
Emission line galaxies provide a crucial tool for the study of galaxy formation and evolution, providing a means to trace a galaxys star formation history or metal enrichment, and to identify galaxies at a range of stellar masses. In this paper we pr esent a study of emission line galaxies in the SHARDS Frontier Fields medium-band survey. Through detailed flux calibrations we combine the first results of the SHARDS-FF survey with existing Hubble Frontier Field data to select 1,098 candidate emission line galaxies from the Hubble Frontier Filed clusters Abell 370 and MACS J1149.5+2223. Furthermore, we implement this deep medium-band imaging to update photometric redshift estimates and stellar population parameters and discover 38 predominantly low-mass H{alpha} emitters at redshifts 0.24 < z < 0.46. Overall, 27 of these sources have corresponding UV data from the Hubble Space Telescope which allows us to distinguish these sources and investigate the burstiness of their star formation histories. We find that more than 50% of our sample show an enhancement in H{alpha} over UV, suggesting recent bursts in star formation on time scales of a few, to tens of megayears. We investigate these sources and find that they are typically low-mass disky galaxies with normal sizes. Their structures and star formation suggest that they are not undergoing mergers but are bursting due to alternative causes, such as gas accretion.

We outline a full-scale search for galaxies exhibiting double-peaked profiles of promi- nent narrow emission lines, motivated by the prospect of finding objects related to merging galaxies, and even dual active galactic nuclei candidates as by-produc t, from the Large Sky Area Multi-object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) Data Re- lease 4. We assemble a large sample of 325 candidates with double-peaked or strong asymmetric narrow emission lines, with 33 objects therein appearing optically resolved dual-cored structures, close companions or signs of recent interaction on the Sloan Dig- ital Sky Survey images. A candidate from LAMOST (J074810.95+281349.2) is also stressed here based on the kinematic and spatial decompositions of the double-peaked narrow emission line target, with analysis from the cross-referenced Mapping Nearby Galaxies at the Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey datacube. MaNGA en- ables us to constrain the origin of double peaks for these sources, and with the IFU data we infer that the most promising origin of double-peaked profiles for LAMOST J074810.95+281349.2 is the `Rotation Dominated + Disturbance structure.
