2MASS Filters
-------------

2MASS filter responses are taken from `Cohen, Wheaton & Megeath, "Spectral
Irradiance Calibration in the Infrared. XIV. The Absolute Calibration of 2MASS",
The Astronomical Journal, Volume 126, Issue 2, pp. 1090-1096
(2003)<http://dx.doi.org/10.1086/376474>`__, as tabulated by Michael
Blanton. See the paper for details.

The group name ``twomass`` is used to identify these response curves in
``speclite``. The plot below shows the output of::

twomass = speclite.filters.load_filters('twomass-*')
speclite.filters.plot_filters(twomass, wavelength_limits=(10000, 25000))
