The Denis & 2mass near Infrared Surveys and Their Applications in Cosmology
نویسنده
چکیده
The DENIS and 2MASS near infrared surveys are presented. Their applications in extragalactic astronomy and cosmology are listed. The prospects for a rapid spectroscopic followup survey of a near infrared selected sample of nearly 10 galaxies are illustrated with MonteCarlo simulations.

Near-infrared Galaxy Surveys in 2d, 3d & 4d
The completeness and reliability of the DENIS IJK survey and the EDSGC (derived from the COSMOS scans of USKT plates) are obtained by detailed cross-identifications and systematic visual inspections of conflictual classifications. The DENIS galaxy extraction turns out to be over 95% complete and reliable out to I < 16, while the COS-MOS/EDSGC galaxy catalogue is less than 80% complete and relia...
متن کاملDenis Detections of Highly Obscured Galaxies in the Area around Pks 1343 – 601
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 the B-band, at the 21 cm line emission, and with 2MASS. Recession velocities of galaxies in this area suggest a low-velocity-dispersion group or cluster of galaxies including an X-ray confirmed Seyfert 2. The colours...
متن کاملThe Master Catalogue of stars towards the Magellanic Clouds⋆ I. Multispectral surveys of the Large Magellanic Cloud
The Master Catalogue of stars towards the Magellanic Clouds (MC2)⋆⋆ is a multi–wavelength reference catalogue. The current paper presents the first results of the MC2 project. We started with a massive cross– identification of the two recently released near–infrared surveys: the DENIS Catalogue towards the Magellanic Clouds (DCMC) with more than 1.3 million sources identified in at least two of...
متن کاملAGB variables in Baade’s windows
In this work, a sample of luminous M-type giants in the Baade’s Windows towards the inner Galactic Bulge is investigated in the near-infrared. The ISOGAL survey at 7 and 15μm has given information concerning the mass-loss rates of these stars and their variability characteristics have been extracted from the MACHO database. Most are known to be semi-regular variables (SRVs). Here we discuss how...
متن کاملThe Wide-Field DENIS Near-IR Imaging Survey and 6dF Redshift and Peculiar Velocity Surveys
The DENIS survey is currently imaging the entire southern sky in the I , J , and K wavebands. The current star/galaxy separation algorithm is presented and the galaxy counts are nearly perfectly Euclidean. 95% complete and reliable galaxy samples with better than 0.2 magnitude photometry should include 50 000 (K < 12.0), 500 000 (J < 14.8), and 900 000 (I < 16.5) galaxies, respectively, over th...
