This table is based on the results of the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS), a ten-year project to map the full three-dimensional distribution of galaxies in the nearby universe. The Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) was completed in 2003 and its final data products, including an extended source catalog (XSC), are available online. The 2MASS XSC contains nearly a million galaxies with K_s <= 13.5 mag and is essentially complete and mostly unaffected by interstellar extinction and stellar confusion down to a galactic latitude of |b| = 5 degrees for bright galaxies. Near-infrared wavelengths are sensitive to the old stellar populations that dominate galaxy masses, making 2MASS an excellent starting point to study the distribution of matter in the nearby universe. The authors selected a sample of 44,599 2MASS galaxies with K_s <= 11.75 mag and |b| >= 5 degrees (>= 8 degrees toward the Galactic bulge) as the input catalog for their survey. They obtained spectroscopic observations for 11,000 galaxies and used previously obtained velocities for the remainder of the sample to generate a redshift catalog that is 97.6% complete to well-defined limits and covers 91% of the sky. This provides an unprecedented census of galaxy (baryonic mass) concentrations within 300 Mpc. Earlier versions of their survey have been used in a number of publications that have studied the bulk motion of the Local Group, mapped the density and peculiar velocity fields out to 50 h^-1 Mpc, detected galaxy groups, and estimated the values of several cosmological parameters. Additionally, the authors present morphological types for a nearly complete sub-sample of 20,860 galaxies with K_s <= 11.25 mag and |b| >= 10 degrees. The authors initially selected 45,086 sources which met the following criteria:

 Ks <= 11.75 mag and detected at H, E(B - V) <= 1 mag, |b| >= 5 degrees for 30 degrees < l < 330 degrees, |b| >= 8 degrees otherwise. 

They rejected 324 sources of galactic origin (multiple stars, planetary nebulae, and H II regions) or pieces of galaxies detected as separate sources by the 2MASS pipeline. Additionally, they flagged 314 bona fide galaxies with compromised photometry for reprocessing at a future date. Some of these galaxies have bright stars very close to their nuclei which were not detected by the pipeline. Others are in regions of high stellar density and their center positions and/or isophotal radii have been incorrectly measured by the pipeline. Lastly, some are close pairs or multiples but the pipeline only identified a single object. A detailed explanation of the steps taken to reject and reprocess the flagged galaxies is given in the Appendix of the reference paper. In summary, the final input catalog contained here has 44,599 entries (plotted using black symbols in Figure 1 of the reference paper). In this table, redshifts for 43,533 of the selected galaxies, or 97.6% of the sample, are presented. This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2012 based on an electronic version of Table 3 of the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJS website.

This table contains the X-ray point-source catalog produced from the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS-I) observations of the combined ~3.2 deg² DEEP2 (XDEEP2) survey fields, which consist of four ~ 0.7 - 1.1 deg² fields. The combined total exposures across all four XDEEP2 fields range from ~ 10 ks to 1.1 Ms. The authors detect X-ray point sources in both the individual ACIS-I observations and the overlapping regions in the merged (stacked) images. They find a total of 2976 unique X-ray sources within the survey area with an expected false-source contamination of ~ 30 sources (<~ 1%). In their paper, the authors present the combined log N-log S distribution of sources detected across the XDEEP2 survey fields and find good agreement with the Extended Chandra Deep Field and Chandra-COSMOS fields to f_(X,0.5-2keV)_ ~ 2 x 10^-16 erg cm^-1 s^-1. Given the large survey area of XDEEP2, they additionally place relatively strong constraints on the log N-log S distribution at high fluxes (f_(X,0.5-2keV) ~ 3 x 10^-14 erg cm^-1 s^-1), and find a small systematic offset (a factor ~ 1.5) toward lower source numbers in this regime, when compared to smaller area surveys. The number counts observed in XDEEP2 are in close agreement with those predicted by X-ray background synthesis models. Additionally, the authors present a Bayesian-style method for associating the X-ray sources with optical photometric counterparts in the DEEP2 catalog (complete to R_AB < 25.2) and find that 2126 (~ 71.4% +/- 2.8%) of the 2976 X-ray sources presented here have a secure optical counterpart with a <~ 6% contamination fraction. The present table provides the DEEP2 optical source properties (e.g., magnitude, redshift) as part of the X-ray-optical counterpart catalog. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2012 based on electronic versions of Tables 5 and 7 from the reference paper which were obtained from the ApJS web site.

Using a deep Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) radio survey covering an area of ~3 deg² to a 4-sigma sensitivity of >= 100 µJy (µJy) at 1.4 GHz, the authors study the nature of faint radio galaxies. The region, 2 degrees in diameter and centered on RA and Dec (J2000.0) of 1^h 14^m 12.16^s, -45^o 44' 08.0" (Galactic latitude of -71^o), is known as the Phoenix Deep Field. About 50% of the detected radio sources are identified with an optical counterpart revealed by CCD photometry to m_R = 22.5 magnitudes. Near-infrared (K-band) data are also available for a selected sample of the radio sources, while spectroscopic observations have been carried out for about 40% of the optically identified sample. These provide redshifts and information on the stellar content. Emission-line ratios imply that most of the emission-line sources are star-forming galaxies, with a small contribution (~ 10%) from Seyfert 1/Seyfert 2 type objects. The authors also find a significant number of absorption-line systems, likely to be ellipticals. These dominate at high flux densities ( > 1 mJy) but are also found at sub-mJy levels. Using the Balmer decrement, they find a visual extinction A_V = 1.0 for the star-forming faint radio sources. This moderate reddening is consistent with the (V - R) and (R - K) colors of the optically identified sources. For emission-line galaxies, there is a correlation between the radio power and the H-alpha luminosity, in agreement with the result of Benn et al. (1993, MNRAS, 263, 98). This suggests that the radio emission of starburst radio galaxies is a good indicator of star formation activity. When calculating luminosities, the authors assume a cosmology with a Hubble constant H₀ of 50 km s^-1 Mpc^-1 and a deceleration parameter q₀ of 0.5. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2013 based on an electronic version of Table 1 from the reference paper, which details the photometric (optical and near-infrared), radio, spectroscopic and intrinsic properties of the faint radio sources in the PDS with established redshifts, which was obtained from the CDS web site (their catalog J/MNRAS/306/708 file table1.dat).

The COSMOS2015 catalogue contains precise photometric red-shifts and stellar masses for more than half a million objects over the 2 deg^2 COSMOS field. Including YJHKs images from the UltraVISTA-DR2 survey, Y-band from Subaru/Hyper-Suprime-Cam and infrared data from SPLASH Spitzer Legacy program, this near-infrared selected catalogue is highly optimised for the study of galaxy evolution and environments in the early Universe.

The Center for Astrophysics (CfA) Redshift Survey South Galactic Cap (CFA2S) Catalog contains redshifts for a sample of about 4300 galaxies with blue (Zwicky B(0) type) magnitude <= 15.5 covering the range from 20 h to 4h in right ascension and from -2.5 deg to 90 deg in declination. This sample is complete for all galaxies in the merge of the Zwicky et al. and Nilson catalogs in the south Galactic cap. Redshifts for 2964 of these were measured as part of the second CfA Redshift Survey. The data reveal large voids in the foreground and background of the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster. The largest of these voids lies at a mean velocity ~ 8000km/s, has diameter of ~ 5000km/s, and is enclosed by a complex of dense structures. The large structure known as the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster forms the near side of this complex. On the far side of this large void, at a mean velocity of ~ 12000km/s, there is another coherent dense wall. The structures in this survey support the view that galaxies generally lie on surfaces surrounding or nearly surrounding low-density regions or voids.

Photometric calibration for 2MASS was performed using observations of calibration fields made at regular intervals during each night of survey operations. Measurements of standard stars in the fields were used to derive the photometric zero point offsets as a function of time during each night. Atmospheric extinction coefficients were derived from 2MASS observations made over long periods.2MASS calibration fields, or tiles, are 1° long in declination and approximately 8.5' wide in right ascension. There are 35 regular survey calibration fields distributed at approximately two hour intervals in right ascension near declinations of approximately -30°, 0° and +30°. An additional five calibration fields were defined in and around the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds to support the deep observation (6x) campaign towards the end of survey operations.Over the course of the survey, the regular calibration fields were scanned between 562 and 3692 times in nominally photometric conditions. Equatorial fields were observed from both observatories, so were observed more frequently than those near ±30° which were observed with only one telescope. The special Magellanic Cloud calibration fields were observed 108 to 468 times between November 2000 and February 2001.Calibration scan Atlas Images, and Point and Extended Source Working Databases (Cal-PSWDB and Cal-XSWDB), analogous to those from the main survey, were produced from the calibration scan pipeline data reduction. The calibration Image Atlas and WDBs are the fundamental processing archives of the data from 73,230 calibration scans taken in photometric conditions during 2MASS survey operations. The Cal-WDBs contain positions, magnitudes and characteristics of 191,464,020 and 403,811 point and extended "source" extractions, respectively. The calibration Image Atlas contains 878,769 FITS images in the three survey bandpasses redundantly covering ~5 deg2 of sky. Unlike the main survey and 6x observations, "Catalogs" have not been derived from the Calibration WDBs.
