The 2MASS 6X Point Source Working Database / Catalog (2006)

Keywords :

Abstract:A special set of observations that utilized exposure times six times longer than the main 2MASS survey measurements were conducted in the final year of 2MASS observatory operations. The 2MASS "6x" observations achieved sensitivities ~1 mag deeper than the main 2MASS survey, and covered approximately 590 deg2 of sky in 30 discrete regions. The 2MASS 6x Point Source Working Databases (6x-PSWDB and 6x-XSWDB) contain all detections extracted from the raw 6x imaging data during pipeline data reduction. The 6x WDB entries include reliable detections of astrophysical sources, as well as spurious detections of noise excursions, image artifacts and transient events such as meteor trails, ...(more)
