They're very pretty, FermatsBrother, but I can't help but notice you're not revealing how you found them.

Hi Starry - I'm doing it to help your research. The fact that they're pretty is purely incidental !
As the route to finding them. If you copy/paste the following program into here you will get a list of all the  "green" Objects for z 0.27 to 0.30.
The selection criteria for "green" is that the [g' Magnitude value > r' Magnitude value] and that
the [i' Magnitude value > r' Magnitude value] as occurs in the green Objects that have already been found.
I've also inserted a criterion for the zconf as 0.9 quite arbitrarily.
I've put a sort on the z value, but this could equally well be the ObjID.
The program as presented picks up many of the peas you already have.
Have a go with it, and try changing the parameter values to see what you get !
Cheers - Fermats Brother

select
PhotoObj.modelMag_g, PhotoObj.modelMag_r, PhotoObj.modelMag_i, PhotoObj.ObjID
from
PhotoObj, specObj
where
specObj.bestObjid = PhotoObj.ObjID AND 
specObj.zconf > 0.9 AND
specobj.z between 0.27 and 0.30 AND
PhotoObj.modelMag_g - PhotoObj.modelMag_r > 0.4 AND
PhotoObj.modelMag_i - PhotoObj.modelMag_r > 0.4
Order by specObj.z

I altered FermatsBrother's program with this section substituted:
specobj.z between 0.40 and 0.45 AND
PhotoObj.modelMag_r - PhotoObj.modelMag_i > 0.4 AND
PhotoObj.modelMag_z - PhotoObj.modelMag_i > 0.4

The new ones it returned:

ra=218.85103026, dec=4.01487684, ObjId = 587729158976963251

...and #7 is previously-posted. Not a bad haul. Seems like hardly anyone notices the red OIII galaxies because they look like red stars unless you pull up the spectral chart.

Same program except: specobj.z between 0.60 and 0.65, returned 3 results. #1:

ra=237.93293581, dec=43.79948421, ObjId = 587735666388238704

#2: Exact same 'z' as a previously-posted "Pea", but it's a different object:

ra=167.12038156, dec=7.15176094, ObjId = 587732578312913136
http://cas.sdss.org/astro/en/tools/explore/obj.asp?id=587732578312913136


....and the 3rd and last result is in fact the previously-posted one with the same redshift.

Hmmm I think we're into cranberies now but very pretty.

Hi Starry - In posting #822 on 04MAR2008 my quote was:
"At a wavelength of 7000 angstroms the OIII line will start to register on the IR camera and will be displayed as red on the screen. So expect to see some red OIII galaxies !!"

More cranberries with this section of program:
specobj.z between 0.45 and 0.5 AND
PhotoObj.modelMag_r - PhotoObj.modelMag_i > 0.4 AND
PhotoObj.modelMag_z - PhotoObj.modelMag_i > 0.4

Hi - The last one at z = 0.839 at the very end of the spectrum range !
