Multi-Wavelength Surveys for Galaxies Hidden by the Milky Way
Abstract
Description
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 \HI-surveys in the Zone of Avoidance, including a discussion on the limitations and selection effects inherent to the different multi-wavelength surveys and first results.
