Description
A pilot survey has been made to obtain 21cm HI emission line profiles for 197 objects in the zone of avoidance (ZoA) that were classified as galaxies in the 2MASS all-sky near-infrared Extended Source Catalog (2MASX), as well as a further 16 2MASS pre-release working database sources that did not make it into 2MASX. One hundred sixteen of the 2MASX sources and the 16 working database sources were observed using the Nancay radio telescope, usually in the 325 to 11825km/s range, and the other 81 2MASX sources were observed with the Arecibo radio telescope in the -500 to 11000km/s range, and for 9 also in the 9500 to 21000km/s range.
