For our sample selection we adopted an isophotal extinction-corrected K-band magnitude limit of Kso=11.25mag, corresponding to the first 2MRS data release and 2MTF, for which the 2MASX completeness level remains fairly constant deep into the Zone of Avoidance (ZoA). About one thousand galaxies without prior redshift measurement accessible from Nancay (Dec>-40deg) were observed to an rms noise level of ∼3mJy for the velocity range -250 to 10600km/s. This resulted in 220 clear and 12 marginal detections of the target sample. Only few detections have redshifts above 8000km/s due to recurring radio frequency interference (RFI). A further 29 detections and 6 marginals have their origin in non-target galaxies in the telescope beam. The newly detected galaxies are on average considerably more HI-rich (mostly 109-1010M) compared to systematic (blind) HI surveys. The HI detections reveal various new filaments crossing the mostly uncharted northern ZoA (e.g., at GLON ∼90deg, 130deg, 160deg), whilst consolidating galaxy agglomerations in Monoceros and Puppis (GLON ∼220deg, 240deg). Considerably new insight has been gained about the extent of the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster through the confirmation of a ridge (GLON∼16deg) encompassing the 3C129 cluster that links Perseus-Pisces to Lynx, and the continuation of the second Perseus-Pisces arm (GLON∼90deg) across the ZoA. A Hubble constant of H0=75km/s/Mpc has been used. Description: Our NRT target list contained 1003 2MASS galaxies brighter than Ks0<11.25mag across the ZoA (|b|<10°) accessible from Nancay (Dec.>-40°). The majority of the galaxies without prior redshift measurement are located within the inner ZoA (|b| < 5°). They were selected from the newly defined 2MZOAG catalogue (Schroder, van Driel & Kraan-Korteweg, 2019MNRAS.482.5167S 2019MNRAS.482.5167S). For the adopted sensitivity limit of rms=3mJy and the redshift limit of 10600km/s, the 1800h observing time allocated with the NRT led to the detection of 230 galaxies (of which 10 are marginal). An additional 29 and 6 clear and marginal detections of non-target are presented. The detection rate of the bright 2MZOAG sample was found to be independent of foreground extinction (Fig. 3), in agreement with what was found in the 'blind' HIZoA survey (Staveley-Smith et al., 2016AJ....151...52S 2016AJ....151...52S, Cat. J/AJ/151/52). The 22 per cent detection rate is consistent with our pilot project (van Driel et al., 2009A&A...505...29V 2009A&A...505...29V, Cat. J/A+A/505/29), and quite reasonable considering that no pre-selection on morphological type was made. Moreover, many of the brighter galaxies might have been targeted on earlier occasions.

Schroeder et al., 2019MNRAS.482.5167S 2019MNRAS.482.5167S, Cat. J/MNRAS/482/5167) and was observed for completeness; they are not used in the ZoA data analysis n = The coordinates mark the target position, not of the source of the observed emission, which is offset from the pointing position r = The optical velocity lies within the velocity range affected by radar RFI (8500-10000km/s) s = The target is not in the original, magnitude limited, sample but was observed to check on the detection of another target (in case the galaxy is not listed in the 2MASX catalogue, their coordinates are given in brackets) v = Galaxy that has a published optical velocity inside the NRT search range v+ = Galaxy with an optical velocity that lies outside the NRT search range Note (G2): A colon denotes an uncertain measurement. Note (G3): uncertainties were determined following the formalism in Schneider et al., 1986AJ.....92..742S 1986AJ.....92..742S and 1990ApJS...72..245S 1990ApJS...72..245S: e_HRV50 = 1.5 * (W20-W50) / SNR e_w50 = 2*e_HRV50 e_w20 = 3.1*e_HRV50 e_FHI = 2*(1.2*W20*Res)0.5*rms The SNR was determined following the ALFALFA HI survey formulation from Saintonge et al., 2007AJ....133.2087S 2007AJ....133.2087S: SNR = 1000(FHI/W50)*(W50/2*Res)0.5) Res is the instrumental resolution (see Sec. 3) Note (G4): The rms noise level was determined over a 3000km/s wide part of the spectrum with low RFI occurrence; it is representative of the full velocity range. Note (G9): Estimated from the Schlegel et al. (1998ApJ...500..525S 1998ApJ...500..525S) DIRBE/IRAS extinction values E(B-V) at the position of the source. We applied a correction factor of f=0.86 (Schlafly & Finkbeiner, 2011ApJ...737..103S 2011ApJ...737..103S). Following Fitzpatrick (1999PASP..111...63F 1999PASP..111...63F), a conversion factor of RK=0.373 was applied to arrive at the A_K-value. Note (G10): Magnitudes are corrected for (a) the global foreground extinction at the position of the galaxy, AK, and (b) for the loss of the low surface-brightness (SB) features that have fallen below the 20th isophote because of the reduction in SB at each pixel of the galaxy's extent (Riad et al. 2010MNRAS.401..924R 2010MNRAS.401..924R). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgements: Anja Schroeder, anja(at)mpe.mpg.de
