Abstract:
As the fifth part in our series of papers on galaxies in the "zone of
avoidance" (ZOA) of the Milky Way we present 1346 new galaxy
candidates discovered during a systematic search on Palomar
Observatory Sky Survey (POSSI-E) red-sensitive prints. The region
searched comprises 400 square degrees at 90°≤l≤110°,
-10°≤b≤+10°. We list galactic and equatorial coordinates,
maximum optical diameters and diameters of the core, if visible, both
for the red- and blue-sensitive POSS prints. An asymmetric
distribution of the galaxies with respect to the galactic equator is
found and can most probably be attributed to the galactic warp. We
also present radial velocities for 14 galaxies measured for the first
time which are located in the region where a branch of the Pisces
Perseus Supercluster is approaching the ZOA from the south
(l≃90°, b≃-10°).
