Context. The location of the Solar System constrains the detection of extragalactic sources beyond the Milky Way(MW) plane. The optical observations are hampered in the so--called Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) where stellar crowding and Galactic…

The distribution of galaxies in the Zone of Avoidance (ZoA) is incomplete due to the presence of our own Galaxy. Our research focused on the identification and characterisation of galaxies in the ZoA, using the new near-infrared data from…

We investigate the accuracy requirements for field-level inference of cluster and void masses using data from galaxy surveys. We introduce a two-step framework that takes advantage of the fact that cluster masses are determined by flows on…
