J/AJ/110/2739       H-alpha emitting regions in M33 (Calzetti+ 1995)

Description:
    We report finding charts and accurate positions for 432 compact
    H{alpha} emitting regions in the Local Group Galaxy M33 (NGC 598), in
    an effort to isolate candidates for an SS433-like stellar system. The
    objects were extracted from narrowband images, centered in the rest
    frame H{alpha} ({lambda}6563A) and in the red continuum at 6100A. The
    atlas is complete down to V=~20, and includes 279 compact H II regions
    and 153 line emitting point-like sources. The point-like sources
    undoubtedly include a variety of objects: very small H II regions,
    early type stars with intense stellar winds, and Wolf-Rayet stars, but
    should also contain objects with the characteristics of SS433. This
    extensive survey of compact H{alpha} regions in M33 is a first step
    towards the identification of peculiar stellar systems like SS433 in
    external galaxies.
