Scientific paper

The Arecibo Zone of Avoidance survey is searching for 21cm emission from neutral hydrogen in galaxies located behind the plane of the Milky Way. The goal of the survey is to discover nearby galaxies which are undetectable at optical and infrared wavelengths because of high Galactic extinction and confusion. The survey will map out the nearby mass distribution and connect large scale structure across the zone of avoidance. It will also contribute to our understanding of the neutral hydrogen mass function. This poster will present the status of the survey. Observations, data reduction, and analysis are ongoing. The majority of the detections have been newly discovered sources.
