A first look at galaxies with the DENIS survey.
Abstract
We review the various steps for the extraction of extended sources, principally galaxies, from the DENIS images. The capabilities of DENIS are studied with simulated images. A few real DENIS J and K_s-band images are presented for very bright galaxies and one nearby rich galaxy cluster.
