Description:
This catalogue gathers the searches for galaxies of apparent size
greater than 0.1mm (6.7") behind the Milky Way from photographic
surveys in the near infrared. The five volumes cover the galactic
longitude ranges -7 to +68deg, and 210 to 250deg.
Introduction to Volumes 1 and 2:
The two catalogs, CGMW1 and CGMW2, giving about 7000 galaxies behind
the Milky Way between l = 210 degrees and 250 degrees, represents a
systematic search for galaxies by means of 32 film copies of the UK
Schmidt Southern Infrared Atlas on the Milky Way covering about 900
square degrees. In the search galaxies with apparent sizes greater
than 0.1mm on film (6.7 arcsec in size) were detected by visual
inspection. The material and procedure of search are described as well
as the detectability of galaxies in paper I and paper II appended
before Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 of the catalog, respectively, which have been
published in Publ. Astron. Soc Japan, Vol. 42 (1990) and Vol. 43
(1991). The parameters of catalogued galaxies are also explained in
paper I. Cross-identifications with other catalogs are shown in the
last column.
The search was performed by undergraduate students of a galactic
astronomy program in Department of Astronomy, Kyoto University, in
1988 and 1989. Since the main researchers changed from the search in
1988 (Vol. 1) to that in 1989 (Vol. 2), a surface brightness level
determining the extents of galaxy images somewhat differs between Vol.
1 and Vol. 2, yielding a difference of mean number densities of the
detected galaxies between Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. The difference is
examined in paper II. The detectability of galaxies, especially of
smallest galaxies, increased in the overlap zones of adjacent fields
of the Atlas; the effects are discussed in a paper (Yamada and Saito
1991, to appear in Publ. Astron. Soc. Japan, Vol. 43). In spite of
such inhomogeneities in search for galaxies, the catalog is useful as
a finding list of bright galaxies, peculiar galaxies, and nearby
clusters of galaxies in the region behind the Milky Way.
The machine-readable version of the catalog has been made through
efforts of Mr. Shogo Nishida, Mr. Tadafumi Takata, and Professor Shiro
Nishimura. This will be distributed upon request from Astronomical
Data Analysis Center of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan
and other astronomical data centers.
This work was supported by the Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific
Research (01420002) of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Science,
and Culture.

Description of Vol. 5:
We performed a visual systematic search for galaxies on POSS II(B)
plates in a Milky Way region between l 32deg-68deg and b -4deg
to 19deg. This region partly contains the Local Void, and the north
supergalactic pole exists at the central part. The surveyed area was
about 560 deg^2^ , and a total of 11,310 galaxies and galaxy
candidates with sizes of 01 or greater were identified. Among the
detected objects, 152 have been given in galaxy catalogs and 159,
including 49 known galaxies, are associated with IRAS point sources.
We made a catalog of the detected objects, in which the position in
(RA, DE) and (l, b), the size, and the features of the image and
multiplicity are given for each object. The surface number densities
of the detected objects almost depend on the Galactic latitude. In the
surveyed region, there is no nearby cluster and there is an
outstanding concentration of galaxies at l=7deg-12deg and
4000-5000 km/s.
