Thank you for your inquiry about use of the 2MASS data products. . It is the case that all 2MASS image, catalog and database products are released in the public domain. We state this explicitly on many of the image galleries (e.g. http://www.ipac.caltech.edu/2mass/gallery/index.html), but you are correct that it isn't actually stated for the catalogs. . We do ask that when any 2MASS image or catalog products are used that the acknowledgement given in section I.8.b be included (see http://www.ipac.caltech.edu/2mass/releases/allsky/doc/sec1_8b.html). . "This publication makes use of data products from the Two Micron All Sky Survey, which is a joint project of the University of Massachusetts and the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center/California Institute of Technology, funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Science Foundation." . Sincerely, The 2MASS Helpdesk |
