Source Matching

1. Open up the table from Gregorio's paper. File:Gregorio 20120514.txt in one webpage.

2. Open up another webpage with the Gator Catalog List

3. In Gator, choose 2MASS (Two Micron All-Sky Survey), the second choice. Then click the Select button by the title IRSA CATALOGS.

4. On the next page, choose 2MASS All-Sky Point Source Catalog (PSC) and then click the Select button by the title 2MASS All-Sky Release Database. The query page that comes up is the one we will be using over and over.

2. Find the Gregorio sources you are responsible for (listed below).

3. Follow the next steps for one source at a time. Enter your data in our google docs spreadsheet Gregorio Source Matching. You are going to have to enter one cell's worth of data at a time in the google doc, whereas you can highlight both ra and dec at once and paste it into the query form webpage. You are the analyst, so put your name in that cell.
