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…
