obtained at the Mauna Kea Observatory with the NASA Infrared Telescope’s NSFCAM $J$, $H$, $K$ filter set. Exceptions to this include the HE1122-1649 field, for which all photometry is taken with the du Pont Telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory [@Chen2003]; and the Q1323-0021 $m_{11200\text{\AA}}$ and $m_{13500\text{\AA}}$, with magnitudes measured in the collapsed 1D-spectrum [@Moller2018]. Where required, we apply Galactic extinction corrections to the photometric magnitudes. Here we note that the magnitudes in the HE1122-1649 field reported in [@Chen2003] were corrected for [@Schlegel1998] extinctions. We therefore calculate conversion factors to the re-calibrated [@Schlafly2011] maps and report these instead. All values and references to each entry are summarised in Table \[tab:refparam\].

NIR photometry for Q1436-0051 {#sec:NIRphot}
-----------------------------

The vicinity of Q1436-0051 has been studied extensively because it is a crowded field, hosting two absorbers in the quasar spectrum (a sub-DLA at $z_\mathrm{abs}=0.7377$ and a LLS at ) and eight objects within a 30$\times$30 arcsec perimeter centred on the quasar [@Rao2011]. Of special interest is an object at an impact parameter of $6.4$ arcsec, where SDSS reports two source detections, classifying the combined object as a blend of an extended object with $z_\mathrm{phot} = 0.622 \pm 0.139$ and a star.
