Its aim was to obtain spectra for a complete sample of all objects with 16.5<b_j_<19.7 irrespective of their morphology (i.e. including `stars', `galaxies' and `merged' images). We explore the extent to which (nearby) cluster galaxies are present in 2MASS. We consider the reasons for the omission of 2MASS galaxies from the FCSS and vice versa. We consider the intersection (2.9 square degrees on the sky) of our data set with the infra-red 2 Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS), using both the 2MASS Extended Source Catalogue (XSC) and the Point Source Catalogue (PSC). We match all the XSC objects to FCSS counterparts by position and also extract a sample of galaxies, selected by their FCSS redshifts, from the PSC. We confirm that all 114 XSC objects in the overlap sample are galaxies, on the basis of their FCSS velocities. A total of 23 Fornax Cluster galaxies appear in the matched data, while, as expected, the remainder of the sample lie at redshifts out to z=0.2 (the spectra show that 61% are early type galaxies, 18% are intermediate types and 21% are strongly star forming). The PSC sample turns out to contain twice as many galaxies as does the XSC. However, only one of these 225 galaxies is a (dwarf) cluster member. On the other hand, galaxies which are unresolved in the 2MASS data (though almost all are resolved in the optical) amount to 71% of the non-cluster galaxies with 2MASS detections and have redshifts out to z=0.32.2007A&A...476...59Mhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/476/59CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toVII/180 : Galaxies in Fornax Cluster and five nearby groups (Ferguson+ 1990)II/246 : 2MASS All-Sky Catalog of Point Sources (Cutri+ 2003)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/476/59https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/476/59http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/476/59https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/476/59https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/476/59http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/476/59GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/476/59/psc-fcss (Point sources in 2MASS PSC and Fornax Cluster Spectroscopic Survey)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/476/59/psc-fcss?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/476/59/psc-fcss?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/476/59/psc-fcss?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true53.433333-35.6063890.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/A+A/476/59/xsc-fcss (Extended objects in 2MASS XSC and also in Fornax galaxy catalogues)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/476/59/xsc-fcss?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/476/59/xsc-fcss?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/476/59/xsc-fcss?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true53.4475-35.4330560.0055555555555555565/8633 6/34531 34540-34541 345468.650015785639275e-20 1.7003137259100215e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/476/59?format=asciiOpticalInfrareddefaultJ/A+A/476/59/psc-fcssPoint sources in 2MASS PSC and Fornax Cluster Spectroscopic SurveyrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
