Highly Efficient Identification of Extreme Emission Line Galaxies in the Local Universe: >8000 New Green Pea Candidates at 0.12 < z < 0.36

Heather Samonski, Samir Salim, John Salzer

The currently known compact extreme emission-line galaxies (the "Green Peas", GPs) in SDSS are rare and were mostly found among serendipitous spectroscopic targets, thus leaving op…
