No DSS2 Image

  • cdbendsenhotmail.com by cdbendsenhotmail.com

    For this subject and others I have seen, there is no bright image for the DSS2 blue, red or IR "slides" It is not clear if there is a dark image that shows up as a bright image with the MASS and the WISE slides. Are these good candidates?

    Well, this one looks like it extends beyond the circle at WISE 4. But otherwise, yes! Very cool stars and stars that are behind a wall of dust (e.g. in a star-forming region) often are very faint at DSS or Sloan wavelengths. But they still could host the disks we're looking for.
