Highlights of multi-wavelengths surveys in the Zone of Avoidance
R. C. Kraan-Korteweg, K. J. van der Heyden, M. E. Cluver +1
Rather than giving a complete overview on extragalactic Zone of Avoidance research, this paper will highlight some recent discoveries in the ZOA, such as new NIR to FIR observation…
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…
Spectroscopy and near-infrared photometry of the helium nova V445 Puppis
Patrick A. Woudt, Danny Steeghs
Nova Puppis 2000 (V445 Pup) has been proposed as the first example of a helium nova. Recent optical spectroscopy of V445 Pup at V=19.91 mag obtained with IMACS on the 6.5-m Magella…
DNOs and QPOs in Cataclysmic Variables
Brian Warner, Patrick A. Woudt
We describe some of the recent observations of Dwarf Nova Oscillations and Quasi-Periodic Oscillations in cataclysmic variable stars. The similarities to high frequency QPOs seen i…
Cataclysmic Variables from SDSS III. The Third Year
Paula Szkody, Arne Henden, Oliver Fraser +17
This paper continues the series that identifies new cataclysmic variables found in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We present 36 cataclysmic variables and one possible symbiotic star…
