GALWORKS Performance on a Low Glat Field

T. Jarrett, IPAC
(971007)

Seven scans toward the general direction of glong=54 and glat=(3-6), ra = 287, dec = +20, were obtained on the night of 970613. The source density is very high (typically > 10000 srcs/sq. deg brighter than 14th at K), and thus there are plenty of double and triple+ stars to confuse star-galaxy discrimination. Only a few galaxies were detected at the modified flux limits, typically 0.5 to 0.9 brighter than the nominal flux limits (depending on the src density).
