Coma Repeatibility from 10 scans of 970521n
T. Jarrett, IPAC

Ten repeated scans were acquired for the Coma cluster core
on the night of 970521n. The scans, 013 to 022, are not part of
the official 2MASS tile data (because the scans are not locked
into
specific tiles, and, like all other data from 970521n,
the
observations were made with a non-optimal dither pattern),
but the data is excellent and lends information
toward photometric repeatibility for galaxies.
The data have been calibrated and the galaxy candidates have
been verified/classified. The following repeatibility applies
to real galaxies only. The results look excellent and are in line
with the level-1 specs. No further comments are made.
Coma Photometric Repeatibility: fixed circ radius = 7 aperture
white filled dots == galaxy repeats (typically 10 in total)
magenta dots == expected scatter (poisson + confusion noise)
Coma Photometric Repeatibility: K fiducial, isophotal, elliptical aperture
white filled dots == galaxy repeats (typically 10 in total)
magenta dots == expected scatter (poisson + confusion noise)
top panel shows the repeats for the K-fid isophotal radius
outlier points caused by galaxy-galaxy confusion (coma cluster
is dense)
Coma Elliptical Parameter Repeatibility: axial ratio; all galaxies
top panel shows the axial ratio repeats for the
"super" (J+H+K) coadd; bottom panels shows
J, H and K repeats
