Abstract:
    We have searched the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty
    centimeters (FIRST, VIII/71) and the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS,
    VIII/65) 1.4GHz radio surveys for sources that are coincident with
    emission-line galaxy (ELG) candidates from the KPNO International
    Spectroscopic Survey (KISS). A total of 207 of the 2157 KISS ELGs
    (∼10%) in the first two Hα-selected survey lists (Cats
    J/AJ/121/66, J/AJ/127/1943) were found to possess radio detections
    in FIRST, NVSS, or both. Follow-up spectra exist for all of the radio
    detections, allowing us to determine the activity type (star-forming
    vs. active nucleus) for the entire sample. We explore the properties
    of the radio-detected KISS galaxies in order to gain a better insight
    into the nature of radio-emitting galaxies in the local universe
    (z<0.1).

    Because of the selection technique used for KISS, our radio ELGs
    represent a quasivolume-limited sample, which allows us to develop a
    clearer picture of the radio galaxy population at low redshift. Nearly
    two-thirds of the KISS radio galaxies are starburst or star-forming
    galaxies, which is in stark contrast to the results of flux-limited
    radio surveys, which are dominated by active galactic nuclei (AGNs)
    and elliptical galaxies (i.e., classical radio galaxies).

Note (1): As listed in Salzer et al. (2001, Cat. J/AJ/121/66) and
          Gronwall et al. (2004, Cat. J/AJ/127/1943).
Note (2): These are the optical positions tabulated in the survey papers
          (Salzer et al., 2001, Cat. J/AJ/121/66; Gronwall et al., 2004,
          Cat. J/AJ/127/1943) and have precisions of ∼0.25 to 0.30".
Note (3): If the galaxy was detected in both FIRST (VIII/71) and
          NVSS (VIII/65), the FIRST flux value is listed. If only
          detected by NVSS, the flux is corrected as in the text.
Note (4): The luminosity is calculated from the distances derived from the
          listed redshift value (see section 3.4.1).
Note (5): Corrected for Local Group motion. Obtained from the follow-up spectra.

Note (6): This value is calculated from the angular distance between the peak
          optical emission of the KISS object and the peak radio emission.
Note (7): Survey is designated as follows:
      F = FIRST only
      N = NVSS only
      B = Both surveys
Note (8): ELG activity type as follows:
    Sy1 = Seyfert 1
    Sy2 = Seyfert 2
    SB  = Starburst or star-forming galaxy
    LIN = Low-ionization nuclear emission-line region (LINER)
    QSO = QSO
