Abstract
A comparison has been made between the Ultraviolet Celescope Catalogue (OAO2 satellite) and the The Two-Micron Sky Survey. Forty-seven objects are in common between the two catalogues, including several binary systems. Most of them show intrinsic IR excess, while the UV deficiency not always may be justified with the interstellar absorption. Two of the objects seem to be very interesting and are suggested for observations at wavelengths longer than 2.2 μm.
