Description

The high sensitivity and angular resolution of the 2MASS Large Galaxy Atlas (LGA) images allows closer inspection of diverse stellar populations, large-scale structures such as spirals, bulges, warps and bars, star formation regions and evolution of galaxies. This image atlas represents the first uniform, all-sky, view of galaxies as seen in the near-infrared wavelength window that is most sensitive to the dominant mass component of galaxies.
