The Extragalactic ALFA Zone of Avoidance team is mapping the distribution of low-Galactic-latitude galaxies and large scale structures through detection of galaxies' 21-cm emission with ALFA. This Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) survey finds new HI galaxies which lie hidden behind the Milky Way, and also provides redshifts and other HI parameters for partially-obscured galaxies known at other wavelengths. ... Discovery and Follow-up of a Nearby Galaxy from the Arecibo Zone of Avoidance Survey. ...

... Our Milky Way galaxy is host to a number of companions. These companions are gravitationally bound to the Milky Way and are stellar systems in their own right. They include a population of about 150 globular clusters (GCs) and some 30 dwarf satellite galaxies (DSGs). ... These DSGs are more extended and diffuse compared to GCs. In fact the larger satellites of the Milky Way (and other galaxies, for that matter) host their own small systems of GCs. ...

... ftp://www.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/pub/cgmw/ : This catalog, giving about 7000 galaxies behind the Milky Way between l = 210 degrees and 250 degrees, represents a systematic search for galaxies by means of 32 film copies of the UK Schmidt Southern Infrared Atlas on the Milky Way covering about 900 square degrees. ...

... Research . ... I aim to understand the variety of processes that have driven galaxy formation and mass assembly across cosmological history via the resolved (star-by-star) study of nearby systems - in particular the Milky Way and Andromeda (especially their stellar halos and globular cluster populations), the Magellanic Clouds, and the myriad of smaller dwarfs that inhabit the "Local Group".б  . ... Globular clusters are fascinating objects in their own right. ...

The goal of this paper is to present the results of a preliminary analysis of the extended infrared (IR) emission by dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We combine Spitzer Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution (SAGE) and Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) data and correlate the infrared emission with gas tracers of H I, CO, and HЮБ. ... We construct maps of the temperature of large dust grains. ...

... All previous such superstars have been found along with many companion stars in the centres of crowded star clusters. The star is known as VFTS 682 from the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey catalogue of the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) located at Paranal in Chile by means of the attached FLAMES instrument. ... Although VFTS 682 seems to be alone now it is not very far away from a very rich star cluster known as RMC 136 that contains several similar superstars. ...
