Description:
This catalog, 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 0.1 mm 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.
