In this work we describe 59 galaxies discovered in the talk-forum of the Milky Way Project (MWP) by volunteers of the project. The MWP is based on infrared images by the Spitzer Space Telescope and primarily probes the Zone of Avoidance for star-forming regions located in the Milky Way. The list of galaxies found here include 35 galaxies previously not described, a possible galaxy cluster and two galaxies that could be located in the Great Attractor Wall. The volunteers mainly discovered larger ( d > 12″) galaxies with a higher star-forming rate and likely missed galaxies with low star-forming rate or small galaxies. This work demonstrates that many galaxies in the Zone of Avoidance remain undiscovered in the GLIMPSE data set.

Spitzer太空望远镜在回避区中的星系

在这项工作中，我们描述了该项目的志愿者在银河项目（MWP）的论坛中发现的59个星系。MWP基于Spitzer太空望远镜的红外图像，主要探测银河系恒星形成区域的回避区。在这里找到的星系列表包括35个先前未描述的星系，一个可能的星系团和两个可能位于大吸引力墙的星系。志愿者主要发现较大的（d> 12”）星系，其成星率较高，并且可能错过了星系形成率较低或较小的星系。这项工作表明，回避区中的许多星系仍未在GLIMPSE数据集中发现。
