Redshift Survey of 951 IRAS Galaxies in the Southern Milky Way

In this paper we present the results of a redshift survey of IRAS galaxies behind the whole southern Milky Way region 210° < l < 360° at |b| < 15°. The galaxy candidates in the southern Milky Way were selected from IRAS Point Source Catalogue (IPSC) by applying flux density and infrared colour criteria (Strauss et al. 1990; Rowan-Robinson et al. 1991). The selected sample is flux limited with f60 > 0.6Jy. A visual search for galaxy-like objects have been carried out in UK-Schmidt Infrared and IIIaJ films in the selected IRAS positions. In spite of the large Galactic extinction in this region, 966 galaxy candidates have been identified (Yamada et al. 1993).

Redshift Survey

In the southern sky, the Centaurus and Pavo “superclusters”, although lying on opposite sides of the Milky Way, show similar redshifts (V ≃ 4500 km s−1). This author and others have suggested earlier that they may really be portions of a single entity. To investigate this further a redshift survey has been undertaken of the Triangulum Australe-Ara region (15h30m < α < 18h45m, −70° < 6 < −50°) that lies between Centaurus and Pavo, but at very low galactic latitude on the Pavo side of the Milky Way. 75 published redshifts have been supplemented by 56 new redshifts. Selection has favoured E-SO galaxies from the ESO catalogue but the varying extinction has made control difficult.

The integralNHof neutral-hydrogen density along the line of sight is determined from the Kootwijk and Sydney surveys. The run ofNHwith galactic longitude agrees well with that of thermal continuous radiation and that of the optical surface brightness of the Milky Way.
