Abstract:
In this second paper of the catalogue series of galaxies behind the
southern Milky Way, we report on the deep optical galaxy search in the
Crux region (289deg< l< 318deg and -10deg< b< 10deg) and the
Great Attractor region (316deg< l< 338deg and
-10deg< b< 10deg). The galaxy catalogues are presented, a brief
description of the galaxy search given, as well as a discussion on the
distribution and characteristics of the uncovered galaxies. A total of
8183 galaxies with major diameters D> 0.2 arcmin were identified in
this 850 square degree area: 3759 galaxies in the Crux region and
4423 galaxies in the Great Attractor region. Of the 8183 galaxies, 229
(2.8%) were catalogued before in the optical (3 in radio) and 251
galaxies have a reliable (159), or likely (92) cross-identification in
the IRAS Point Source Catalogue (3.1%). A number of prominent
overdensities and filaments of galaxies are identified. They are not
correlated with the Galactic foreground extinction and hence
indicative of extragalactic large-scale structures. Redshifts obtained
at the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) for 518 of the
newly catalogued galaxies in the Crux and Great Attractor regions
(Fairall et al., 1998, Cat. J/A+AS/127/463; Woudt et al., 1999, Cat.
J/A+A/352/39) confirm distinct voids and clusters in the area here
surveyed. With this optical galaxy search, we have reduced the width
of the optical `Zone of Avoidance' for galaxies with
extinction-corrected diameters larger than 1.3' from extinction levels
A_B> 1.0mag to A_B> 3.0mag: the remaining optical Zone of Avoidance is
now limited by |b|< 3deg (see Fig. 16).
