IPAC 2MASS Science and Analysis Working Group Meeting #8 Minutes, 10/25/95

Attendees: T. Chester, R. Cutri, T. Evans, T. Jarrett, D. Kirkpatrick, G. Laughlin, B. Light, C. Lonsdale, S. Terebey, S. Wheelock

G. Laughlin has obtained an extracted galaxy list for a Coma coadd from FOCAS. A first comparison of objects called `galaxies' by FOCAS to the truth table developed by T. Jarrett and to galaxies found in the coadd by GALWORKS indicates that FOCAS is less complete and less reliable than GALWORKS; however it is possible that FOCAS mis-classified some true galaxies and placed them in the `star' or `non-star' and this possibility still needs to be assessed.
