Abstract:
To increase completeness of the distance limited sample of nearby
galaxies from the Kraan-Korteweg & Tammann (1979AN....300..181K)
catalogue we undertook a search for small companions of larger known
galaxies which have corrected radial velocities with in 500km/s. Based
primarely on the POSS-II and ESO/SERC films we found 260 nearby dwarf
galaxy candidates with angular diameters a>0.5arcmin. More than 50% of
the objects were revealed for the first time. As we suppose, a
significant part of them (about 30%) may really belong to the Local
Volume sample.
