Nearby Large-Scale Structures and the Zone of Avoidance: A Conference Summary and Assessment
Anthony Fairall, Ofer Lahav
This conference has brought together many of the world's `cosmographers', particularly those focussed on the mapping nearby large-scale structures. Not surprisingly, numerous portr…
Percolation Properties of Nearby Large-Scale Structures: Every Galaxy has a Neighbour
Anthony Fairall, D. Turner, M. L. Pretorius +4
The distribution of nearby (cz < 7500 km/s) galaxies has been explored by minimal spanning trees; allowance has been made for the drastic decrease of data with distance. The invest…
Peculiar velocities in the Zone of Avoidance: Determining the Distance to the Norma cluster
P. A. Woudt, A. P. Fairall, R. C. Kraan-Korteweg +4
Deep J, H and Ks photometry of the low Galactic latitude Norma cluster has been obtained with the 1.4-m Infrared Survey Facility (IRSF) and with SOFI on the NTT. Together with spec…
A Search of the Zone of Avoidance in Scorpius
A. P. Fairall, Renee C. Kraan-Korteweg
An optical search of the Scorpius region - close to the Galactic bulge - has revealed some 1400 partially-obscured galaxies. Redshifts have been obtained for nearly a hundred of th…
The Core of the Great Attractor
P. A. Woudt, R. C. Kraan-Korteweg, A. P. Fairall
The nature and extent of the Great Attractor (GA) has been the subject of much debate in the past decade, partly due to the fact that a large fraction of the GA overdensity is hidd…
Multiwavelength Observations of a Seyfert 1 Galaxy Detected in ACO 3627
P. A. Woudt, R. C. Kraan-Korteweg, A. P. Fairall +3
ACO 3627 is a rich, nearby cluster of galaxies at the core of the Great Attractor. At the low galactic latitude of b = -7.2 the galactic extinction is significant. Nevertheless, it…
