Beginning of ReadMe : II/270 TCS-CAIN: NIR Survey of the Galactic plane (Cabrera-Lavers+, 2006) ================================================================================ TCS-CAIN: A deep multicolor NIR survey of the Galactic plane. Cabrera-Lavers A., Garzon F., Hammersley P.L., Vicente B., Gonzalez-Fernandez C. <Astron. Astrophys. 453, 371 (2006)> =2006A&A...453..371C ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Infrared sources ; Galactic plane ; Surveys Keywords: Galaxy: structure - infrared: stars Abstract: We describe a deep multi-colour NIR survey (TCS-CAIN) that has been recently completed at the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (Spain). The survey is of selected areas distributed along the Galactic plane and it goes deeper than 2MASS or DENIS. Its aim was to explore the large-scale structure of the Milky Way and the Galactic components, in particular the Galactic bar. This survey has about 10 million point-source detections in J, H, and Ks filters with a photometric accuracy of about 0.1mag in the three bands and a positional accuracy of about 0.2" (based on the 2MASS catalogue as the astrometric reference). Description: Point sources detections in J, H and K obtained along the TCS-CAIN survey in the 530 recorded Galactic fields. Individual magnitudes for each point source in the three bands, their coordinates (both equatorial and galactic ones), and cross-matching with 2MASS sources is provided in each catalogue file. Each file corresponds to a single field observed along the survey and it is named using the central galactic coordinates as reference (see Section 6 in the paper for details). At the beginning of each field astrometric transformation coefficients, photometric zero-points, extinction coefficients, and photometric uncertainties are enumerated (as they are obtained for each single catalogue field as a whole).
