PECULIAR EMISSION-LINE OBJECTS IN THE SMALL MAGELLANIC CLOUD

Optical spectroscopic data for 16 new emission-line objects in the Small Magellanic Cloud have been analysed. The line fluxes have been used to determine nebular temperatures, excitation classes and magnitudes. In our sample there are 11 planetary nebulae, 2 compact HII regions, 2 very-low-excitation objects (VLE) and a possible Be supergiant. Among the planetary nebulae 5 present a strong nitrogen emission and are probably Peimbert's Type I PN. In addition, we present spectroscopic data for 12 objects of the Jacoby sample.
