Abstract

The systematic mapping of obscured and optically invisible galaxies behind the Milky Way through complementary surveys are important in arriving at the whole-sky distribution of complete galaxy samples and therewith for our understanding of the dynamics in the local Universe. In this paper, a status report is given of the various deep optical, near infrared (NIR), and systematic blind -surveys in the Zone of Avoidance, including a discussion on the limitations and selection effects inherent to the different multi-wavelength surveys and first results.
