Absolute Physical Calibration in the Infrared
G. H. Rieke, M. Blaylock, L. Decin +11
We determine an absolute calibration for the MIPS 24 microns band and recommend adjustments to the published calibrations for 2MASS, IRAC, and IRAS photometry to put them on the sa…
Near-Infrared Variability in the 2MASS Calibration Fields: A Search for Planetary Transit Candidates
Peter Plavchan, M. Jura, J. Davy Kirkpatrick +2
The 2MASS photometric calibration observations cover ~6 square degrees on the sky in 35 "calibration fields" each sampled in nominal photometric conditions between 562 and 3692 tim…
The reddest ISO-2MASS quasar
C. Leipski, M. Haas, R. Siebenmorgen +9
In the course of the NIR/MIR AGN search combining the 6.7 mu ISOCAM Parallel Survey and 2MASS we have discovered 24 type-1 quasars about a third of which are too red to be discrimi…
Near and Mid-IR Photometry of the Pleiades, and a New List of Substellar Candidate Members
John R. Stauffer, Lee W. Hartmann, Giovanni G. Fazio +13
We make use of new near and mid-IR photometry of the Pleiades cluster in order to help identify proposed cluster members. We also use the new photometry with previously published p…
Reconstructed Density and Velocity Fields from the 2MASS Redshift Survey
Pirin Erdogdu, Ofer Lahav, John P. Huchra +13
We present the reconstructed real-space density and the predicted velocity fields from the Two Mass Redshift Survey (2MRS). The 2MRS is the densest all-sky redshift survey to date…
Unveiling the Boxy Bulge and Bar of the Andromeda Spiral Galaxy
Rachael L. Beaton, Steven R. Majewski, Puragra Guhathakurta +6
A new, 2.8 deg^2 J,H,K_s infrared survey from the 2MASS 6x program across the extent of the optical disk of the Andromeda (M31) galaxy provides a clear view of the M31 center almos…
