2MASS Atlas Image Streaming Retrieval Service

The CGI program:

/cgi-bin/Oasis/2MASSImg/nph-2massimg

on this server returns a FITS image of the desired area.

CGI parameters:

  • objstr: Object name or coordinate string (fairly free-form).

  • size: Cropped image size in arcsec (default: 50; a value > 500 defaults to the full image).

  • band: 2MASS band ("j", "h", or "k")

  • bestseeing: If bestseeing=1, return an image where the point is over 10" from an edge that has the best seeing, even if not the most-centered (default: 0)

  • covers: If covers=1 return image only if it covers the point (default: 0).

The size parameter is simplistic; this is just a piece of the "best" image for the location. There is no mosaicking implied.
