TABLE  twompzPhotoz

Contains the parameters provided for each source in catalogue

This table contains the contents of the 2MASS Photometric Redshift
Catalogue. The catalogue was constructed by cross-matching 2MASS XSC,
WISE and SuperCOSMOS all-sky samples and employing the artificial
neural network approach (the ANNz algorithm, Collister & Lahav 2004),
trained on several redshift surveys (2MRS, SDSS, 6dFGS, 2dFGRS and ZCAT)
The derived photometric redshifts have errors nearly independent of distance,
with an all-sky accuracy of sigma-z = 0.015, and only a small percentage
of outliers. These redshift estimates have a typical precision of 12% for
all the 2MASS XSC galaxies that lack spectroscopy. The resulting 2MPZ
sample contains almost 1 million galaxies with a median redshift of
z=0.07. This catalogue is described in Bilicki et al. 2014, ApJS, 210, 9.
