Abstract:
As part of our efforts to unveil extragalactic large-scale structures
behind the southern Milky Way, we here present redshifts for 764
galaxies in the Hydra/Antlia, Crux and Great Attractor region
(266°≤l≤338°, |b|≤10°), obtained with the Meudon-ESO
Fibre Object Spectrograph (MEFOS) at the 3.6-m telescope of ESO. The
observations are part of a redshift survey of partially obscured
galaxies recorded in the course of a deep optical galaxy search behind
the southern Milky Way (Kraan-Korteweg 2000, Cat. J/A+AS/141/123;
Woudt & Kraan-Korteweg 2001, Cat. J/A+A/380/441). A total of 947
galaxies have been observed, a small percentage of the spectra
(N=109, 11.5%) were contaminated by foreground stars, and 74 galaxies
(7.8%) were too faint to allow a reliable redshift determination. With
MEFOS we obtained spectra down to the faintest galaxies of our optical
galaxy survey, and hence probe large-scale structures out to larger
distances (v≤30000km/s) than our other redshift follow-ups using
the 1.9-m telescope at the South African Astronomical Observatory
(Kraan-Korteweg et al., 1995, Cat. J/A+A/297/617; Fairall et al.,
1998, Cat. J/A+AS/127/463; Woudt et al., 1999, Cat. J/A+A/352/39)
and the 64-m Parkes radio telescope (Kraan-Korteweg et al., 2002,
Cat. J/A+A/391/887). The most distinct large-scale structures
revealed in the southern Zone of Avoidance are discussed in context to
known structures adjacent to the Milky Way.
