Data and Software for: Resolved Near-infrared Stellar Photometry from the Magellan Telescope for 13 Nearby Galaxies: JAGB Method Distances

12/17/24 Update: I was made aware that the MRT files had the J-band and H-band column header labels incorrectly switched (this occured when converting the CSV files to MRT). I have fixed this mistake. The CSV files were correct the entire time. No data have been changed. Apologies for any inconvinence this may have caused. 

Data for Resolved Near-infrared Stellar Photometry from the Magellan Telescope for 13 Nearby Galaxies: JAGB Method Distances

The files are provided in two formats. A CSV format with a single line header, and a MRT files (zipped) written in the machine-readable format used by AAS & CDS: https://journals.aas.org/mrt-overview/

Column descriptions in photometry catalogs:

X/Y: Image coordinates from Fourstar camera

J, J_err: J-band magnitudes and photometric errors returned from DAOPHOT/ALLFRAME

H, H_er: H-band magnitudes and photometric errors returned from DAOPHOT/ALLFRAME

K, K_err: K-band magnitudes and photometric errors returned from DAOPHOT/ALLFRAME

chi: chi value returned from DAOPHOT/ALLFRAME

sharp: sharpness value returned from DAOPHOT/ALLFRAME

ra/dec: RA/Decl 

RGC: semi-major axis distance

Notes on versions: all catalogs from all versions contain the same information, style was just adjusted to adhere to AAS standards.
