Galaxies and their masks : a conference in honour of K.C. Freeman, FRS

Various kinds of masks obscure our view of our galaxy, the Milky Way, as well as of other galaxies. Masks of interstellar dust affect our measurements within galaxies, on scales ranging from individual supernovae to the galaxies themselves. The mass mask (our inability to image mass rather than ligh...
