Description:
As the third part in a series of papers on galaxies in the "zone of
avoidance" (ZOA) of the Milky Way we present a compilation of 1161
galaxies discovered during a systematic search on Palomar Observatory
Sky Survey (POSS) red-sensitive prints. The region searched comprises
200 square degrees, at 120deg≤l≤130deg, -10deg≤b≤+10deg. In
addition to galactic, equatorial and rectangular coordinates, we list
maximum and minimum optical diameters derived from both the red- and
blue-sensitive prints, could assign a morphological type to some of
the objects and made cross-checks with the IRAS PSC and several radio
catalogues. A test for completeness suggests, that our catalogue
should be complete down to a limiting galaxy-diameter of 0.35'. An
asymmetric distribution of the galaxies with respect to the galactic
equator was found and is discussed by comparing it with the locations
of optically visible dust clouds and/or the distribution of
IR-emitting dust material. A comparison between the distribution of
the galaxies and the 100µ IRAS intensity maps led to the
identification of four possible clusterings. As a byproduct of our
galaxy search, two new planetary nebulae, nebulous stars at the
position of a strong cold IRAS point source, and a nearby dwarf
irregular galaxy could be detected.
