A first look at galaxies with the DENIS survey

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We review the various steps for the extraction of extended sources, principally galaxies, from the DENIS images. The capabilities of DENIS are studied with simulated images. A few real DENIS J and K_s-band images are presented for very bright galaxies and one nearby rich galaxy cluster.
