Preliminary Galaxy Extraction from Denis
نویسنده
چکیده
The extragalactic applications of NIR surveys are summarized with a focus on the ability to map the interstellar extinction of our Galaxy. Very preliminary extraction of galaxies on a set of 180 consecutive images is presented, and the results illustrate some of the pitfalls in attempting an homogeneous extraction of galaxies from these wide-angle and shallow surveys.

GALAXIES WITH DENIS: Preliminary star/galaxy separation and first results
The numerous extragalactic and cosmological motivations of the DENIS and 2MASS near infrared surveys are outlined. The performance of the DENIS survey is estimated from 50deg of high galactic latitude data (20◦ < |b| < 60◦). Simple star/galaxy separation methods are presented and comparison with 300 visually classified objects as well as COSMOS and APM classifications. We find that the peak int...
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...

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...

As a pilot survey for the forthcoming 6dF Galaxy Redshift Survey, spectroscopy of galaxies selected in the 1.2 micron J waveband with the DENIS imaging survey was performed at the UKST telescope using the FLAIR II multiobject spectroscope. 69 galaxy redshifts were obtained in a high galactic latitude field and an additional 12 redshifts in a low galactic latitude (b = −17), obscured field. This...

Near-infrared surveys have very promising cosmological applications. The DENIS 2 micron survey, currently in camera-testing, is scheduled to begin in early 1995, and to map the entire southern sky in the I, J , and K 0 bands. The steps for the near-homogeneous extraction of 10 5 galaxies are outlined, some pitfalls are given, and the estimated limiting capabilities of the survey are presented. ...
