Abstract:

We present the results of a radio continuum survey at 21 cm wavelength of the Galactic plane between 95 5 240 and with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope. The data have been absolutely calibrated by using the Stockert northern sky survey at the same wavelength. This survey complements the Effelsberg 21 cm Galactic plane survey for l 95 5 by Reich et al. (1990a). The results are presented as contour maps with a sensitivity of 100 mK T_B at an angular resolution (HPBW) of 9 4. In addition we extend the list of compact sources given by Reich et al. (1990a) by 1830 new entries. These sources have peak flux densities exceeding 160 mK T_B (or 79 mJy/beam area) and apparent sizes of less than 16.
