Scientific paper

A search has been undertaken at Lyon Observatory to identify, by eye, galaxy candidates at galactic latitudes lower than +/-15 degrees on the DENIS J and K-band images. This paper presents a list of 2028 objects that were serendipitously detected throughout the DENIS survey. Cross-identification with galaxy entries in the LEDA Database has been performed. Comparison with the second release of the 2MASS survey led to a satisfactory agreement of J band magnitudes (std. dev. = 0.3 mag). The distribution of galaxy candidates along the Galactic Plane shows a concentration near the galactic longitude l=305 deg . As a by product of this inspection of J and K images some interesting galactic objects were found (star clusters and nebulae). Based on observations collected at the European Southern Observatory, La Silla, Chile. The catalog (Table 1) is only available in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.188.5) or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/387/1
