The Arecibo Zone of Avoidance Survey searches for galaxies behind the disk of the Milky Way. The survey detects galaxies by 21cm emission from neutral hydrogen gas in their interstellar media. These galaxies are largely undetectable at other wavelengths because of obscuration and confusion from the stars, dust, and gas in our Galaxy. Observations began in May 2008 and will be complete in several years. Data reduction and analysis are ongoing. Hundreds of galaxies have been detected so far, many of which are new discoveries. We are presenting galaxy detection results from fully sampled areas of survey sky as well as from follow-up observations on very nearby galaxies discovered by the survey. Ultimately, the survey will trace the large scale structure of the universe, map nearby mass behind the Milky Way, and provide a deeper understanding of the mass function of neutral hydrogen.
