31 Jul 1997 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Abstract: | Motivated by recent discoveries of nearby galaxies in the Zone of Avoidance, we conducted a pilot study of galaxy candidates at low Galactic latitude, near Galactic longitude $l sim 135^0$, where the Supergalactic Plane is crossed by the Galactic Plane. We observed with the 1m Wise Observatory in the I-band 18 of the `promising’ candidates identified by visual examination of Palomar red plates by Hau et al. (1995). A few candidates were also observed in R or B bands, or had spectroscopic observations performed at the Isaac Newton Telescope and at the Wise Observatory. Our study suggests that there are probably 10 galaxies in this sample. We also identify a probable Planetary Nebula. The final confirmation of the nature of these sources must await the availability of full spectroscopic information. The success rate of $sim 50%$ in identifying galaxies at Galactic latitude $|b|<5^circ$ indicates that the ZOA is a bountiful region to discover new galaxies. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9707345 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
