Abstract:
From a visual inspection of J and K images obtained within the Deep
Near Infrared Survey (DENIS) we detected 37 noteworthy galaxies near
the galactic plane (|b|<15°). Most of these galaxies are yet
uncatalogued. They have either a large dimension (more than 1arcmin in
J-band) or a position very close to the galactic plane (|b|<3°).
Some of these galaxies are simply not visible on the Digitized Sky
Survey. Among them 15 galaxies are suspected to be spirals and could
be detected from HI observations. Several large galaxies near the
assumed position of the Great Attractor suggests that a concentration
of galaxies may be present around the equatorial position:
α2000=16h15m, δ2000=-30°. An inspection of this
field from the Digitized Sky Survey and from available 2MASS data
confirms the presence of extragalactic structures.
