Note : this is the description file of the original catalog.
This HTML page corresponds well to the original description, but some minor
changes in the format may have been introduced in the FITS output
files in order to allow for arithmetic operations on quantities
such as coordinates and times. h:m:s and d:m:s units are normally
converted into degrees, and YYYY-MM-DD into julian days.
Similarly, some slight changes may have been introduced in the
units; the value given in the HTML files supersedes the value indicated in the ReadMe
file for this catalogue.

Description:
Between 1997 June and 2001 February the Two Micron All Sky Survey
(2MASS) collected 25.4 Tbytes of raw imaging data covering 99.998% of
the celestial sphere in the near-infrared J(1.25µm), H(1.65µm),
and Ks(2.16µm) bandpasses. Observations were conducted from two
dedicated 1.3 m diameter telescopes located at Mount Hopkins, Arizona,
and Cerro Tololo, Chile. The 2MASS All-Sky Data Release includes the
FITS images covering the entire sky, a Point Source Catalog (PSC) of
471 million sources (Cat. II/242), and the present Extended Source
Catalog.
The 2MASS Extended Source Catalog contains sources that are extended
with respect to the instantaneous PSF, such as galaxies and Galactic
nebulae. The algorithms used to create the 2MASX catalog are described
by Jarett et al. (2000AJ....119.2498J), and in the 2MASS Explanatory
Supplement (accessible from the 2MASS Home Page). Briefly, point/
extended-source discrimination was conducted for each band-merged
point-source detection by comparing a variety of radial shape, surface
brightness, image moments, and symmetry parameters with characteristic
stellar parameters using an oblique decision tree classifier. The
classification tests included filters to exclude double and triple
stars, which were one of the main contaminants in high source density
regions. Stellar parameters were measured empirically as a function
of time in each scan to compensate for variations in the atmospheric
seeing using the aggregate properties of band-merged point-source
extractions.
The catalog contains 389 columns described briefly in the
"Byte-by-byte Description" section below; their description
includes also the 2MASS database original column names used
in the original descriptions.

Note (1): Julian date of the source measurement is accurate to ±3
minutes. This value is the mean Julian date of the scan observation
in which this source falls.
Note (2): The confusion flags are defined as follows:
0 = no other sources within aperture used
1 = aperture contained pixels masked off in coadd
2 = aperture contained pixels masked off due to neighboring sources
3 = aperture contained pixels that had a point source flux subtracted off
4 = aperture contained pixels within bright star mask
5 = aperture contained pixels masked off due to persistence
6 = aperture ran into coadd boundary
7 = aperture contained pixels within bright galaxy mask
9 = integrated flux is negative
If the integrated flux is negative, a mag value is calculated using
BFMag = 99.0 - [ZERO_CAL - 2.5 log10(|flux|)];
the resulting mag range is between ~ 75 and 99.
Note (3): the concentration index is the ratio of effective radius at 75%
and 25% of the light, r(75%)/r(25%)
Note (4): score in the range 1(extended) < score < 2(point-like).
Note (5): the visual verification score gives the source type of sources
examined "by eye", as follows:
-2 = unknown
-1 = no verification (i.e., not examined)
1 = galaxy
2 = non-extended (e.g., star, double, triple, artifact)
Note (6): The contamination/confusion flag indicates whether the source's
photometry and position may be affected by artifacts of, or confusion
with, nearby bright stars. Sources are tested for contamination
and/or confusion in the order given below, and once a flag is applied
to the source, testing is stopped in that band. The flag values
indicate the source may be:
U = unreliable source; probable image artifact detection (none)
C = affected by confusion with or artifact of a nearby bright star (none)
A or a = known artifacts
z = in close proximity to a large galaxy; these sources are usually junk
Z = Derived from the Large Galaxy Atlas
0 = default value -- not contaminated
Note (7): flag indicating the extended source catalog type as follows:
0 = extended source not found in another catalog
1 = extended source is found in galaxy catalog
(ID found in idGal field)
2 = LCSB (Low Central Surface Brightness) source
Note (8): Duplicate source flag, used in conjunction with the useSrc flag.
This numerical flag indicates whether the source falls in a Tile
overlap region, and if so, if it was detected multiple times.
0 = the source does not fall within a Tile overlap region
(useSrc=1), or it falls in an overlap region and there were
no sources detected within 2" of its position in the
overlapping Tile (useSrc=0).
1 = the source falls within a Tile overlap region, and there is one
source detected within 2" of its position in the overlapping Tile.
>1 = the source falls within a Tile overlap region, and there are
multiple sources detected within 2" of its position in the
overlapping Tile, and/or within its own Tile. This implies
confusion in the multiple source resolution procedure.
Note (9): Use source flag, used in conjunction with the dupSrc flag.
This numerical flag indicates if a source falls within a Tile overlap
region, and whether or not it satisfies the unbiased selection rules
for multiple source resolution.
0 = the source falls in a Tile overlap region, but does not have a
detection within 2" of its position in any overlapping Tiles.
PSC sources with useSrc=0 will always have dupSrc=0. Such objects
are usually faint, and thus toggling above and below the detection
limits, or may have moved between the scans of the different Tiles.
1 = The source does not fall in a Tile overlap region (dupSrc=0), or
it falls in an overlap region, but lies farther from its scan edge
than any apparition of the source in another Tile. A source must
have useSrc=1 to be considered part of the sub-Catalog that
satisfies the 2MASS Level 1 Science Requirements
>1 = The source falls within a Tile overlap region, and there are
multiple sources detected within 2" of its position in the
overlapping Tile, and/or within its own Tile. This implies
confusion in the multiple source resolution procedure.
Note (10):
The observation reference date for this source expressed in ISO
standard format. This is the UT day value at sunrise for the night on
which the source was observed. Because it is possible for the UT day
to change during a night of observations, the actual UT date for a
source measurement can differ from date by one day. Use the Julian Day
value (jdate) for a more accurate determination of the observation
time of the source.
Note (11):
The system flux includes the flux from this extended source and
anything else in the immediate area, including stars and neighboring
galaxies that "touch" this source.
Nomenclature Notes:
The recommended naming of the 2MASS Extended Sources Catalog
is 2MASX JHHMMSSss+DDMMSSs, i.e. adding a 'J' to formalize the
expression of the position in the J2000 system.
