The Extragalactic ALFA Zone of Avoidance team is mapping the distribution of low-Galactic-latitude galaxies and large scale structures through detection of galaxies' 21-cm emission with ALFA. This Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) survey finds new HI galaxies which lie hidden behind the Milky Way, and also provides redshifts and other HI parameters for partially-obscured galaxies known at other wavelengths. ... Discovery and Follow-up of a Nearby Galaxy from the Arecibo Zone of Avoidance Survey. ...

... Cen A/NGC 5128 . ... Centaurus A = NGC 5128 . ... Its optical counterpart is known as NGC 5128, the nearest giant elliptical galaxy to our Milky Way. ... NGC 5128 has had a perturbed life. It has definitely undergone at least one recent merger event, which left a prominent dust lane in the center of the galaxy, but also some neutral cool gas orbiting in the halo at larger distances from the galaxy center. ... How old are the stars in the halo of NGC 5128 (Centaurus A)? ...

... Research . ... I aim to understand the variety of processes that have driven galaxy formation and mass assembly across cosmological history via the resolved (star-by-star) study of nearby systems - in particular the Milky Way and Andromeda (especially their stellar halos and globular cluster populations), the Magellanic Clouds, and the myriad of smaller dwarfs that inhabit the "Local Group".б  . ... Globular clusters are fascinating objects in their own right. ...

... We still have a long distance to cover before we leave the Milky Way Galaxy -- tens of thousands of lightyears, as a matter of fact -- so let's stop by some interesting objects on the way. ... But we have reached the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy. ... We don't know, but we do know that there are countless voyages left to take.
