Abstract:
We have mosaicked Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) images to derive
surface brightness profiles in J, H, and Ks for 104 Galactic globular
clusters. We fit these with King profiles and show that the core radii
are identical to within the errors for each of these IR colors and are
identical to the core radii at V in essentially all cases. We derive
integrated-light colors V-J, V-H, V-Ks, J-H, and J-Ks for these
globular clusters.

Note (1): Core-collapsed globular cluster code as follows:
C = known core-collapsed globular cluster
C? = known probable core-collapsed globular cluster
Note (2): Preferentially from Trager, King & Djorgovski (1995, Cat.
J/AJ/109/218), or from Harris (1996AJ....112.1487H 1996AJ....112.1487H). RcoreV from
Harris (1996AJ....112.1487H 1996AJ....112.1487H) for all probable core-collapsed GCs.
Note (3): Beccari et al. (2006AJ....131.2551B 2006AJ....131.2551B) give Vrad=19" for NGC 6266
and find that it is not a core-collapsed GC.
Note (4): Values are given as measured, without reddening corrections. The
JHK surface brightness values are in units of DN/arcsec2.
