2MASS

The Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) was a survey of the whole sky in three infrared wavebands around 2 micrometres (μm): J (1.25 μm), H (1.65 μm), and Ks (2.17 μm). The observations for the survey were taken between 1997 and 2001, at Mt. Hopkins, Arizona for the Northern Hemisphere data and Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, Chile, for the southern hemisphere. The final data release for 2MASS occurred in 2003, and is served by the Infrared Science Archive. The goals of this survey included:

  • Detection of galaxies in the "Zone of Avoidance", a strip of sky obscured in visible light by our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
  • Detection of brown dwarfs. As of 2003, 2MASS had discovered 173 brown dwarfs, including 2MASS 0939-2448, 2MASS 0415-0935, 2M1207, and 2MASS J04414489+2301513.
  • An extensive survey of low mass stars, the most common type of star both in our own galaxy and others.
  • Cataloging of all detected stars and galaxies.
  • Infrared measurements from the 2MASS survey have been particularly effective at unveiling previously undiscovered star clusters.
