| Abstract | We present a new compilation of Wolf-Rayet (WR) galaxies and extra-galactic Hii regions showing broad He ii lambda 4686 emission drawn from the literature. Relevant information on the presence of other broad emission lines ([N i] lambda 5199ii, C iv lambda 5808 and others) from WR stars of WN and WC subtypes, and other existing broad nebular lines is provided. In total we include 139 known WR galaxies. Among these, 57 objects show both broad He ii lambda 4686 and C iv lambda 5808 features. In addition to the broad (stellar) He ii lambda 4686 emission, a nebular He ii component is well established (suspected) in 44 (54) objects. We find 19 extra-galatic Hii regions without WR detections showing nebular He ii lambda 4686 emission. The present sample can be used for a variety of studies on massive stars, interactions of massive stars with the ISM, stellar populations, starburst galaxies etc. The data is accessible electronically and will be updated periodically. The catalogue is available at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html |
