Coma Repeatibility from 10 scans of 970521n

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

  • Coma Photometric Repeatibility: K fiducial, isophotal, elliptical aperture

  • Coma Elliptical Parameter Repeatibility: axial ratio; all galaxies
