TABLE  twomass

The TWOMASS table contains holds the K, J and H selected samples originating from the 2MASS extended source catalogue.

The K-selected sample, K < 12.75 represents the primary 6dFGS input
catalogue. The H and J selected samples reach H < 13.00 and J < 13.75.
The programme ID numbers (progid in the target table) for the K, H and J
selected surveys are 1, 3 and 4 respectively.

Required constraints:
  • Primary key is (targetid)
