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…
DENIS detections of highly obscured galaxies in the area around PKS1343-601
Anja C. Schroeder, Renee C. Kraan-Korteweg, Gary A. Mamon +1
We present results of a search for galaxies around the highly obscured giant radio galaxy PKS1343-601 using the near-infrared DENIS survey. We compare our findings with surveys in…
Multi-wavelength Observations of Galaxies in the Southern Zone of Avoidance
A. Schroeder, R. C. Kraan-Korteweg, G. A. Mamon
We discuss the possibilities of extragalactic large-scale studies behind the Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) using complementary multi-wavelength data from optical, systematic blind HI, an…
DENIS Galaxies in the Zone of Avoidance
A. Schroeder, R. C. Kraan-Korteweg, G. A. Mamon +1
We investigated the potential of using DENIS for studies of galaxies behind the obscuration layer of our Milky Way, and mapping the Galactic extinction. As a pilot study, we examin…
