Description:
We have carried out a systematic search for galaxies in the galactic
plane in a ten degree wide strip (-5deg≤b≤+5deg). In an area of 300
square degrees between l=180deg and l=210deg, 755 galaxies have been
detected on Palomar red- sensitive prints. The smallest galaxies show
diameters of 0.1mm corresponding to 6.7". We extended our survey to
δ=-27deg i.e. l≃247deg to check our catalogue for completeness
by comparing it with the Saito et al. (1990, 1991) catalogues of
galaxies and present 334 new galaxy candidates at l≥210deg. An
asymmetry with respect to the galactic equator is obvious. By assuming
the 60µ and 100µ sky flux density to be a rough measure of the
total interstellar galactic extinction, and comparing them with the
surface densities of the galaxies, we detected one possible galaxy
cluster candidate at (l,b)≃(181.5deg+3.5deg), a concentration of
galaxies at (l,b)≃(195deg+4.5deg), and confirmed three other galaxy
concentrations. Finally, we argue that the red-sensitive surveys (ESO
R; POSS II-R, POSS II-IR) are the best suitable material for galaxy
searches in the zone of avoidance.
