Summary

Our analysis finds that this preliminary sample of narrow-emission line galaxies selected from 2dFGRS and NVSS comprises a mix of starburst and AGN types. The distribution of their emission line ratios suggests that a sizable fraction of the galaxies may be composite galaxies. Further work will determine the relative contributions of the starforming and AGN components.
