The Zone of Avoidance: Optical Compared to Near-Infrared Searches

Renee C. Kraan-Korteweg, Thomas Jarrett

Galaxies uncovered in the Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) with deep optical searches are compared to the distribution of objects in the 2MASS Extended Source Catalog (2MASX). While the gal…

Very Luminous Carbon Stars in the Outer Disk of the Triangulum Spiral Galaxy

D. L. Block, K. C. Freeman, T. H. Jarrett +4

Stars with masses in the range from about 1.3 to 3.5 Mo pass through an evolutionary stage where they become carbon stars. In this stage, which lasts a few Myr, these stars are ext…
