Multi-wavelength Observations of Galaxies in the Southern Zone of Avoidance
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the possibilities of extragalactic large-scale studies behind the Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) using complementary multiwavelength data from optical, systematic blind H I, and near-infrared (NIR) surveys. Applying these data to the NIR Tully –Fisher relation permits the mapping of the peculiar velocity field across the ZOA. Here, we present results of a comparison of galaxies identified in the rich lowlatitude cluster Abell 3627 in the B-band with NIR (DENIS) data, and cross-identifications of galaxies detected with the blind Parkes H I Multibeam survey with NIR data – many of which are optically invisible.

DENIS Observations of Multibeam Galaxies in the Zone of Avoidance
Roughly 25% of the optical extragalactic sky is obscured by the dust and stars of our Milky Way. Dynamically important structures might still lie hidden in this zone. Various surveys are presently being employed to uncover the galaxy distribution in the Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) but all suffer from (different) limitations and selection effects. We illustrate the promise of using a multi-wavelengt...
متن کاملStellar Populations in the Central Galaxies of Fossil Groups
It is inferred from the symmetrical and luminous X-ray emission of fossil groups that they are mature, relaxed galaxy systems. Cosmological simulations and observations focusing on their dark halo and inter-galactic medium properties confirm their early formation. Recent photometric observations suggest that, unlike the majority of non-fossil brightest group galaxies (BGGs), the central early-t...

The systematic mapping of obscured and optically invisible galaxies behind the Milky Way through complementary surveys are important in arriving at the whole-sky distribution of complete galaxy samples and therewith for our understanding of the dynamics in the local Universe. In this paper, a status report is given of the various deep optical , near infrared (NIR), and systematic blind H I-surv...
متن کاملIV. Redshifts Obtained with MEFOS
As part of our efforts to unveil extragalactic large-scale structures behind the southern Milky Way, we here present redshifts for 764 galaxies in the Hydra/Antlia, Crux and Great Attractor region (266◦ ≤ l ≤ 338◦, | b | ∼ 10 ◦), obtained with the Meudon-ESO Fibre Object Spectrograph (MEFOS) at the 3.6-m telescope of ESO. The observations are part of a redshift survey of partially obscured gala...
متن کاملThe HI Parkes Zone of Avoidance Shallow Survey
The HI Parkes Zone of Avoidance Survey is a 21 cm blind search with the multibeam receiver on the 64-m radiotelescope, looking for galaxies hidden behind the southern Milky Way. The first, shallow (15 mJy rms) phase of the survey has uncovered 107 galaxies, two-thirds of which were previously unknown. The addition of these galaxies to existing extragalactic catalogs allows the connectivity of a...
