The Effelsberg 21 cm radio continuum survey of the Galactic plane between l=95°.5 and l=240°

We present the results of a radio continuum survey at 21 cm wavelength of the Galactic plane between 95.degrees 5 less than or equal to l less than or equal to 240 degrees and -4 degrees less than or equal to b less than or equal to +5 degrees 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 less than or equal to 95.degrees 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'.
