Title The Impact of Large Scale Near-IR Sky Surveys : Proceedings of a Workshop held at Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife(Spain), 22???26 April 1996 Author(s) Garz??n, F;Epchtein, N;Omont, A;Burton, W.B;Persi, P Publication Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1997. Description XVI, 264 p : online resource Abstract Note After a year's successful operation, the European DENIS project is now a scientific reality and its close cousin 2MASS (USA) is about to come into operation. The observational and data reduction processes of both DENIS and 2MASS are fully described in this volume. Already the impact of DENIS is making itself felt in the astronomical community in areas of research as diverse as cosmology, the evolution of galaxies, the interstellar medium, the search for brown dwarfs, and stellar structure and evolution. The first routine results from DENIS and the preliminary results from the 2MASS prototype camera are discussed and compared with other surveys across the wavelength spectrum, both space- and ground-based, including the Digitized Sky Survey, ISO and ROSAT ISBN,Price 9789401157841 Keyword(s) 1.
