The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) are rich resources for studying stellar astrophysics and the structure and formation history of the Galaxy. As new surveys and instruments adopt similar filter sets,…

We present the COSMOS2015 catalog which contains precise photometric redshifts and stellar masses for more than half a million objects over the 2deg$^{2}$ COSMOS field. Including new $YJHK_{\rm s}$ images from the UltraVISTA-DR2 survey,…

The ``2-process Model'' is a promising technique for interpreting stellar chemical abundance data from large-scale surveys (e.g., SDSS-IV/V, GALAH), enabling more quantitative empirical studies of differences in chemical enrichment history…

We conducted a continuous survey of infrared and visual images of 18020 2MFGC galaxies which were selected on an automatic basis from 1.64 mln extended objects of the 2MASS XSC catalog based on the ratio of the infrared axes a/b>=3. This…

We present the basic properties of three objects near the Galactic Plane - a large galaxy and two candidate globular clusters - discovered in the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) dataset. All were noted during spot-checks of the data…

[Abridged] A specialized data mining algorithm has been developed using wide-field photometry catalogues, enabling systematic and efficient searches for resolved, extremely low surface brightness satellite galaxies in the halo of the Milky…
