Abstract:

The DEep Near-Infrared Survey of the southern sky (DENIS) will produce an important by-product: a clean, complete view of the local Universe to for galaxies. We identify the FLAIR multi-fibre system on the UKST as an extremely competitive facility to undertake follow-up spectroscopy for this sample due to the need to cover wide areas of sky and observe thousands of objects to a relatively bright () magnitude.
