Abstract A systematic search for disclike edge‐on‐galaxies with a diameter larger than a = 40 arcsec and a major‐to‐minor axis ratio a/b ≥ 7 has been carried out by means of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey and the ESO/SERC survey. As a result, we present a new catalogue of flat galaxies (FGC) containing 4455 objects and covering about 56% of the whole sky for the first time. The catalogue is assigned to study large‐scale cosmic streamings and other problems of observational cosmology.
