Title: The 2MASS Tully-Fisher Survey : Mapping the Mass in the Universe
Authors: T. Hong, L. Staveley-Smith, K. Masters, C. Springob, L. Macri, B. Koribalski, H. Jones, T. Jarrett

The 2MASS Tully-Fisher Survey (2MTF) aims to measure Tully-Fisher (TF) distances for all bright inclined spirals in the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS) using high quality HI widths and 2MASS photometry. Compared with previous peculiar velocity surveys, the 2MTF survey provides more accurate width measurements and more uniform sky coverage, combining observations with the Green Bank, Arecibo and Parkes telescopes. With this new redshift-independent distance database, we will significantly improve our understanding of the mass distribution in the local universe.
