DENIS, a European DEep Near Infrared Survey of the Southern Sky
Abstract
The main science using data from the DENIS survey include discovery of new populations: isolated brown dwarfs, definition of new class L dwarfs, M dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood, galaxies behind the Milky Way, AGB/RGB and YSOs in the Galactic plane (in association with the ISOGAL survey). New insight in the Galactic structure and extinction in the molecular clouds and the Galactic plane have been developped.
