The 2MASS Sampler Frequently Asked Questions Page

• I would like to download the entire Sampler in ascii format; is this possible?
• I've heard that a CD-ROM version of the Sampler is available. How do I obtain my copy?

• I would like to download the entire sampler in ascii format; is this possible?

  Yes. This option is available next to the detailed Sampler catalog documentation on the [Select Catalog] menu of CatScan, which is available at the IRSA site. If you are using Netscape Navigator, be sure to right-click your mouse on the link and select "Save Link As..." to save the data directly to your local disk, rather than have it decompress and displayed in your browser. Note that the ASCII Sampler Point Source Catalog is over 88 MB in size, and 21 MB when compressed via gzip.

• How do I obtain my copy of the 2MASS Sampler CD-ROM?

  Just go here to fill out an order form. A copy will be sent to you in the mail.
