2MASS XSC Proximity
Proximity Distributions in the Provisional XSC




Figure 1 - Proximity frequency distribution for all sources in the provisional XSC. The most common separation is ~120".
Figure 2 - Proximity frequency distribution for all sources in the provisional XSC - detail for prox < 50". Duplicate source resolution removes source pairs in different scans with separations < 5". The few pairs with prox < 5" are due to Large Galaxy scan detections that were not deleted.
Figure 3 - Position angle frequency distribution for all sources in the provisional XSC. There are a low level peaks at 0, 90, 180 and 270 deg.
Figure 4 - Position angle (pxpa) plotted as a function of prox for all sources in the provisional XSC.
