4686
emission (broad or narrow) has been made with negative results.
For obvious reasons such a list is necessarily incomplete and
the inclusion in such a list also strongly depends
on the sensitivity (S/N, resolution etc.) of the data.
We therefore renounce on such a compilation. However,
few updates are appropriate on some objects from Table 3 of Conti (1991).
Mrk 1087 --
While 92 provide only an upper limit on HeII 4686, a detection is provided
in the recent spectra of Vaceli et al. (1997). No information on
the width of this line is given.
Retained as suspected WR galaxy.
Mrk 1094 --
We have retained the criteria of 85 and hence included this object
in Table ![[Table 1]](../images/cross_ref_motif.gif)
. No new observations published.
0833+652 = IRAS 08339+6517 -- From their spectrum Veilleux et al. conclude that no WR features are present in this galaxy (=0833+652 in Conti 1991).
Tol 2 = Tol 0957-278 -- Same comment as for Mrk 1094.
Tol 9 = Tol 1032-283
Although no broad HeII 4686 feature seems present in this object (Kunth
& Schild 1986) we list in the category of suspected WR galaxies
based on the possible detection of other broad features shortward
of 5876 Å (Kunth & Schild 1986).
Other objects for which an upper limit on broad WR features is given or where a non-detection is signaled are found in publications issued from the systematic searches discussed in Sect. 2.
