Abstract

We present the first catalogue of point-source H{alpha} emission line objects selected from the INT/WFC Photometric H{alpha} Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS). In total, our catalogue contains 4853 point sources that exhibit strong photometric evidence for H{alpha} emission. The catalogue is a conservative subset of the emitters present in IPHAS and it is likely that there are many more H{alpha} emitters present in the area of the Galactic Plane that IPHAS observes. Our selection criteria are designed to be conservative (rather than complete) in order to avoid a significant number of false positives in the catalogue. In line with this, we find that of the ~300 catalogue sources for which we have preliminary spectroscopic follow-up observations, more than 95% are confirmed as genuine emission-line sources.
