A HI search for galaxies hidden by the Galactic bulge
… by the Galactic Bulge is presented. The HI Parkes deep HI Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) survey has been extended towards the higher latitudes in the Galactic Bulge region. The surveyed region covers 332° ≤ l ≤ 36° for the region 5° ≤ │b│ ≤ 10° and 352° ≤ l ≤ 24° for the region 10° ≤ │b│ ≤ 15°.

Multiwavelength Studies of Rotating Radio Transients
… Radio Transients (RRATs) was discovered with the Parkes radio telescope in Australia (McLaughlin et al., 2006). These neutron stars are characterized by strong radio bursts at repeatable dispersion measures, but not detectable using standard periodicity-search algorithms. We now know of roughly …

A near infrared Tully-Fisher survey behind the Galactic plane
… The HIZOA deep Hi survey conducted at the 64m Parkes telescope revealed ~ 1 000 galaxies in the southern ZoA (Henning et al. 2005, Donley et al. 2005, Shafi 2008) . Accurate Hi linewidths are required for the measurement of Tully-Fisher distances. The fidelity of the Hi linewidths depends both …
