Abstract:
We systematically searched for IRAS galaxies with 60nm flux density
larger than 0.6Jy by using the UK Schmidt Infrared and IIIa-J Atlases
in the Milky Way region (|b|<15°) between l=210° and 360°.
We first selected about 4000 IRAS point sources by using our
far-infrared criteria, which are optimized for the search of IRAS
galaxies behind the Milky Way region, and then inspected visually the
optical counterparts of them on the Schmidt Atlas film copies. We
found 966 IRAS sources associated with galaxy-like objects. The list
of the objects is presented here with the IRAS source name, Galactic
coordinates, IRAS flux densities, field number and emulsion of the
Atlas, type and size of galaxy(-like) image, redshift, multiplicity,
and cross-identification. Of these, 423 galaxies are already catalogued
in the Catalog of Galaxies and Quasars Observed in the IRAS Survey
(Cat. VII/113), and most of the remaining 543 galaxy candidates are
newly identified in this search. Although the radial velocities are
known for only 387 galaxies, of which 60 were newly measured by us so
far, we inferred the contamination by Galactic objects to be small
from the good correlation between the sky distributions of the newly
identified galaxy candidates and the previously catalogued galaxies.
In the regions where the Galactic molecular clouds dominate, almost
all the sources were not identified as galaxies. The detected galaxies
are clustered in the three regions around l=240°, 280°, and
315°, where the projected number densities are higher than the
whole-sky average of IRAS galaxies of the same flux limit.
