  4. Full Survey Image Atlas

Before using the 2MASS Extended Mission Survey Reject Tables and Full Image Atlas, users are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Cautionary Notes to the All-Sky Data Release data products in 1.6, and the Guidelines for Using the PSC and XSC in II.2.b and II.3.b, respectively. The Survey Reject Tables and Full Image Atlas are derived from the same observations made with the same facilities as the 2MASS All-Sky Release Catalogs and Atlas. Therefore, most of the characteristics and limitations associated with the All-Sky Release data products will apply.

The sections below describe features and caveats that are unique to the Extended Mission survey scan data products and highlight a few important features that are common to both the Extended Mission and All-Sky Release products. These sections are intended to supplement the Cautionary Notes to the All-Sky Data Release but not to replace them.

i. General Survey Scan Notes



ii. Survey Point Source Reject Table (PSRT)
