The Milky Way, The Local Galaxies \& the IR Tully-Fisher Relation

Sangeeta Malhotra, David N Spergel, James E Rhoads +1

Using the near infrared fluxes of local galaxies derived from COBE/DIRBE J(1.25 $\mu$m) K (2.2 $\mu$m) \& L (3.5 $\mu$m) band maps and published Cepheid distances, we construct Tully-Fis…
