The K-Band Galaxy Luminosity Function
C. S. Kochanek, M. A. Pahre, E. E. Falco +6
We measured the K-band luminosity function using a complete sample of 4192 morphologically-typed 2MASS galaxies with 7 < K < 11.25 mag spread over 2.12 str. Early-type (T < -0.5) a…

2MASS Extended Sources in the Zone of Avoidance
T. H. Jarrett, T. Chester, R. Cutri +4
The Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) is now underway and will provide a complete census of galaxies as faint as 13.5 mag (3 mJy) at 2.2 microns for most of the sky, and ~12.1 mag…

2MASS Extended Source Catalog: Overview and Algorithms
T. H. Jarrett, T. Chester, R. Cutri +3
The 2 Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) will observe over one-million galaxies and extended Galactic sources covering the entire sky at wavelengths between 1 and 2 microns. The survey…
