Massive, large scale star counts in the J band provided by the Deep Near Infrared Survey of the Southern Sky (DENIS) are used for the first time to draw out an extinction map of the Chamaeleon I dark cloud. We derived a 2 arcminutes…
We present our catalog of U, B, V, and I stellar photometry of the central 18 sq. degree area of the Small Magellanic Cloud. We combine our data with the 2MASS and DENIS catalogs to provide, when available, U through K_S data for stars.…
Galaxies uncovered in the Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) with deep optical searches are compared to the distribution of objects in the 2MASS Extended Source Catalog (2MASX). While the galaxy density of optical surveys is strongly correlated to the…
We report the identification of a low-mass AGN, DES J0218$-$0430, in a redshift $z = 0.823$ galaxy in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Supernova field. We select DES J0218$-$0430 as an AGN candidate by characterizing its long-term optical…
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 $K'$ bands. The steps…
Based on the ROSAT All-Sky Survey we are constructing a sample of the X-ray brightest galaxy clusters for cosmological studies. We have already completed the compilation of a sample of about 1000 clusters in the sky excluding a 40 degree…
Current studies of the peculiar velocity flow field in the Local Universe are limited by either the lack of detection or accurate photometry for galaxies at low Galactic latitudes. The contribution to the dynamics of the Local Group of the…
This paper presents the first I-band photometric catalog of the brightest galaxies extracted from the Deep Near Infrared Survey of the Southern Sky (DENIS) An automatic galaxy recognition program has been developed to build this provisional…
The properties of Milky Way satellite galaxies have important implications for galaxy formation, reionization, and the fundamental physics of dark matter. However, the population of Milky Way satellites includes the faintest known galaxies,…
The Clusters in the Zone of Avoidance (CIZA) project is producing the first statistically complete catalogue of X-ray selected galaxy clusters behind the Galactic plane. Current optically selected cluster catalogues have excluded a wide…
A blind survey for HI bright galaxies in the southern Zone of Avoidance, (212 deg < l < 36 deg; |b| < 5 deg), has been made with the 21 cm multibeam receiver on the Parkes 64 m radiotelescope. The survey, sensitive to normal spiral galaxies…
Context. The ZOA does not allow clear optical observations of extragalactic sources behind the Milky Way due to the meaningful extinction of the optical emission of these objects. The observations in NIR wavelengths represent a potential…
Deep J, H and Ks photometry of the low Galactic latitude Norma cluster has been obtained with the 1.4-m Infrared Survey Facility (IRSF) and with SOFI on the NTT. Together with spectroscopy taken at the Anglo-Australian Observatory using…
The motivation and major ways for probing the Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) are reviewed. Galaxies hidden behind the ZOA may have important implications for the internal dynamics of the Local Group, for the origin of its motion relative to the…
The DENIS/ISOGAL near/mid-IR survey of the Milky Way for the first time probes stellar populations in the innermost obscured regions of our galaxy. Ages, metallicities and extinction-corrected luminosities are derived for these stars…
We present our catalog of U, B, V, and I stellar photometry of the central 64 sq. deg. area of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Internal and external astrometric and photometric tests using existing optical photometry (U, B, and V from Massey's…
We perform a search for stellar streams around the Milky Way using the first three years of multi-band optical imaging data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We use DES data covering $\sim 5000$ sq. deg. to a depth of $g > 23.5$ with a…
The DENIS and 2MASS near infrared surveys are presented. Their applications in extragalactic astronomy and cosmology are listed. The prospects for a rapid spectroscopic followup survey of a near infrared selected sample of nearly $10^5$…
Using simulated images, we test various methods, for the homogeneous detection of objects in DENIS images. The optimal detection limits depend on the object type and the sky background, but little on the PSF or the smoothing filter used to…
We present the identification of 42 narrow-line active galactic nuclei (type-2 AGN) candidates in the two deepest observations of the JADES spectroscopic survey with JWST/NIRSpec. The spectral coverage and the depth of our observations…
