Groups of Galaxies in the Two Micron All Sky Redshift Survey
We present the results of applying a percolation algorithm to theinitial release of the Two Micron All Sky Survey Extended SourceCatalog, using subsequently measured redshifts for almost all of thegalaxies with K<11.25 mag. This group catalog is based on the firstnear-IR all-sky flux-limited survey that is complete to|b|=5deg. We explore the dependence of the clustering on thelength and velocity scales involved. The paper describes a groupcatalog, complete to a limiting redshift of 104 kms-1, created by maximizing the number of groups containingthree or more members. A second catalog is also presented, created byrequiring a minimum density contrast of δρ/ρ>=80 toidentify groups. We identify known nearby clusters in the catalogs andcontrast the groups identified in the two catalogs. We examine andcompare the properties of the determined groups and verify that theresults are consistent with the UZC-SSRS2 and northern CfA redshiftsurvey group catalogs. The all-sky nature of the catalog will allow thedevelopment of a flow-field model based on the density field inferredfrom the estimated cluster masses.
| The 2MASS-selected Flat Galaxy Catalog
An all-sky catalog of 18020 disc-like galaxies is presented. Thegalaxies are selected from the Extended Source Catalog of the Two MicronAll-Sky Survey (XSC 2MASS) basing on their 2MASS axial ratio a/b ≥ 3.The Catalog contains data on magnitudes of a galaxy in the J, H,KS bands, its axial ratio, positional angle, index ofluminosity concentration, as well as identification of the galaxy withthe LEDA and the NED databases. Unlike the available optical catalogs,the new 2MFGC catalog seems to be more suitable to study cosmicstreaming on a scale of z <~ 0.1. The dipole moment of distributionof the bright (K < 11m) 2MFGC objects (l = 227°, b =41° or SGL = 90°, SGB = -43°) lies within statistical errors(±15°) in the direction of the IRAS dipole and the opticalRFGC dipole.
| The PSCz catalogue
We present the catalogue, mask, redshift data and selection function forthe PSCz survey of 15411 IRAS galaxies across 84per cent of the sky.Most of the IRAS data are taken from the Point Source Catalog, but thishas been supplemented and corrected in various ways to improve thecompleteness and uniformity. We quantify the known imperfections in thecatalogue, and we assess the overall uniformity, completeness and dataquality. We find that overall the catalogue is complete and uniform towithin a few per cent at high latitudes and 10per cent at low latitudes.Ancillary information, access details, guidelines and caveats for usingthe catalogue are given.

| Kinematics of the local universe. VII. New 21-cm line measurements of 2112 galaxies
This paper presents 2112 new 21-cm neutral hydrogen line measurementscarried out with the meridian transit Nan\c cay radiotelescope. Amongthese data we give also 213 new radial velocities which complement thoselisted in three previous papers of this series. These new measurements,together with the HI data collected in LEDA, put to 6 700 the number ofgalaxies with 21-cm line width, radial velocity, and apparent diameterin the so-called KLUN sample.

| Radial Velocity Distribution of the Galaxies in the Puppis Hidden Concentration Behind the Milky-Way
We investigate the radial velocity distribution of the galaxies in thePuppis region behind the Milky Way around (l,b)~(245^deg^, 0^deg^),where a concentration of galaxies was recently recognized through thesystematic search for galaxies behind the zone of avoidance. Using thelower limit sample of the 6O-micron flux-limited sample of IRAS galaxiesbrighter than f_60_ = 0.6 Jy, we find a large nearby clustering ofgalaxies at about 20 h^-1^ Mpc, whose peak spatial density at 7.5h^-1^Mpc scale is at least twice the whole-sky average. This Puppisconcentration is probably associated with the S1 supercluster at (l,b) =(220^deg^, - 15^deg^) detected in the QDOT survey, and this associationis likely to be comparable to other nearby superclusters such as theVirgo, the Hydra, the Centaurus and the Fornax-Eridanus superclusters.Consequently, the effect of the Puppis concentration on the peculiarmotions of the Local Group and other nearby galaxies should beconsiderable. There is no prominent individual cluster in the Puppisregion, however, although some galaxies are concentrated into theregions around (l,b) = (245^deg^, - 7^deg^) and (237^deg^, - 15^deg^);the richness of these individual clusters in IRAS galaxies is as largeas that of the Fornax cluster, and perhaps half or more of that of theVirgo cluster. We also study the radial velocity distribution of thegalaxies selected by an optical limiting diameter, although uncertaintyin the selection is large because of galactic extinction. Thedistribution of these diameter-selected galaxies shows good agreementwith that of the IRAS-selected ones.
| Search and redshift survey for IRAS galaxies behind the Northern Milky Way
We made a search for IRAS galaxies behind the Northern Milky Way byinfrared selection using IRAS Point Source Catalog and visual inspectionon POSS (Palomar Observatory Sky Survey) paper prints, and carried out aredshift survey of the identified objects. This paper presents a catalogof 649 IRAS galaxies with f_60_>=0.6 Jy between l=150deg and 240degat |b|<=15deg , which contains 254 newly identified galaxies and 188newly measured radial velocities. Due to galactic extinction, our sampleis a lower limit sample of the flux limited sample of IRAS galaxies, butit can give some information on the distribution of galaxies in theregion perpendicular to the Supergalactic Plane. We confirm two regionswith enhanced density at l=~160deg , cz=~5000 km/s and l=~190deg ,cz=~5000 km/s and at least two possible voids.
| A search for IRAS galaxies behind the southern Milky Way
We systematically searched for IRAS galaxies with 60 micrometer fluxdensity larger than 0.6 Jy by using the UK Schmidt Infrared and IIIa-JAtlases in the Milky Way region (absolute value of b less than 15 deg)between l = 210 deg and 360 deg. We first selected about 4000 IRAS pointsources by using our far-infrared criteria, which are optimized for thesearch of IRAS galaxies behind the Milky Way region, and then inspectedvisually the optical counterparts of them on the Schmidt Atlas filmcopies. We found 966 IRAS sources associated with galaxy-like objects.The list of the objects is presented here with the IRAS source name,Galactic coordinates, IRAS flux densities, field number and emulsion ofthe Atlas, type and size of galaxy (-like) image, redshift,multiplicity, and cross-identification. Of these, 423 galaxies arealready cataloged in the Catalog of Galaxies and Quasars Observed in theIRAS Survey, and most of the remaining 543 galaxy candidates are newlyidentified in this search. Although the radial velocities are known foronly 387 galaxies, of which 60 were newly measured by us so far, weinferred the contamination by Galactic objects to be small from the goodcorrelation between the sky distributions of the newly identified galaxycandidates and the previously cataloged galaxies. In the regions wherethe Galactic molecular clouds dominate, almost all the sources were notidentified as galaxies. The detected galaxies are clustered in the threeregions around l = 240 deg, 280 deg, and 315 deg, where the projectednumber densities are higher than the whole-sky average of IRAS galaxiesof the same flux limit.

| A search for galaxies behind the Milky Way between L = 230 and 250 deg
A systematic search for galaxies behind Milky Way is carried out bymeans of film copies at an effective wavelength of 790 nm. Visualinspection was made of 14 films; a total of 4633 galaxies were detectedwith diameters greater than 0.1 arcmin. The detected galaxies werecataloged with regard to position, size, galaxy type, and crossidentification. More galaxies were detected at regions with less H Icolumn densities in the Milky Way; the characteristics of the Galacticextinction are similar to those found in the first investigation betweenl of 210 and 230 deg. A superposition of some clusters of galaxies isseen around l of 240 deg, and b of 4 deg over about 15 deg in angularsize; the clusters are distributed from 50 to 350 Mpc. A nearby clusterof galaxies is also at a distance of about 35 MPC around l of 243 degand b of -6 deg, with an elongated structure nearly vertically againstthe Galactic plane linking the Antlia cluster to the Lepus cloud.
