7060 VII/60 Near-Infrared Source Counts in the Galactic Plane K Kawara T Kozasa S Sato H Okuda Y Kobayashi J Jugaku Mem. Fac. Sci., Kyoto Univ., Ser. A 36 353 1983 1983KyoMe..36..353K Galactic plane Photometry, infrared Infrared sources This catalog is a list of 1,989 sources detected along the galactic plane between longitudes 349 and 45 degrees. The total scanned area was 12 square degrees and all sources brighter than magnitude 6.5 in the K band are listed. The observations were made during 1978 and 1979 using a specially designed multicolor photometer. The sources are listed in ascending order in right ascension, separately for the 17 fields from l=349 deg to l=45 deg. The estimated rms position errors range from 15" to 20" in both declination and right ascension, after correcting for systematic errors (Kawara et al. 1983).

Joseph Lyu Hughes STX/NASA 1996Apr30The original ADC documentation by Wayne H. Warren (1992) was used to create this ReadMe file. UNKNOWN UNKNOWN The data were supplied to the Astronomical Data Center, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, as a series of 17 files on magnetic tape, by Dr. K. Kawara. The 17 files, representing the individual areas scanned, were moved to disk storage, concatenated to a single file, and reformatted to minimize storage. The sources were then sorted by increasing galactic longitude. The magnitudes in the I, H, K, and L bands are given. The fluxes for a zero-magnitude star (um = micrometers) are defined as: I (0.82 um) - 1.08 x 10**-12 W/cm**2/um H (1.61 um) - 1.20 x 10**-12 W/cm**2/um K (2.21 um) - 3.8 x 10**-12 W/cm**2/um L (3.58 um) - 6.8 x 10**-12 W/cm**2/um The H-K colors are given only for sources of H magnitude 6.5 and brighter.
