A special set of observations that utilized exposure times six times longer than the main 2MASS survey measurements were conducted in the final year of 2MASS observatory operations. The 2MASS "6x" observations achieved sensitivities ~1 mag deeper than the main 2MASS survey, and covered approximately 590 deg2 of sky in 30 discrete regions.
The 2MASS 6x Point Source Working Databases (6x-PSWDB and 6x-XSWDB) contain all detections extracted from the raw 6x imaging data during pipeline data reduction. The 6x WDB entries include reliable detections of astrophysical sources, as well as spurious detections of noise excursions, image artifacts and transient events such as meteor trails, cosmic rays and hot pixels. In addition, the WDBs may contain multiple, independent detections of objects scanned more than once during the 6x observations.
The 2MASS 6x Point Source Catalogs (6x-PSC and 6x-XSC) is a subset of extractions in the 6x-PSWDB that have been identified to be high reliability source detections, with only one measurement of sources detected multiple times for uniformity.
