Hot stars in LMC UKST H{alpha} survey

DOI

We present new, accurate positions, spectral classifications, radial and rotational velocities, H{alpha} fluxes, equivalent widths and B, V, I, R magnitudes for 579 hot emission-line stars (classes B0-F9) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) which include 469 new discoveries. Candidate emission-line stars were discovered using a deep, high-resolution H{alpha} map of the central 25 degree^2^ of the LMC obtained by median stacking a dozen 2h H{alpha} exposures taken with the UK Schmidt Telescope (UKST). Spectroscopic follow-up observations on the Anglo-Australian Telescope, the UKST, the Very Large Telescope, the South African Astronomical Observatory 1.9m and the 2.3-m telescope at Siding Spring Observatory have established the identity of these faint sources down to magnitude R_equiv_~23 for H{alpha} (4.5x10^-17^ergs/cm^2^/s/{AA}).
