Description


The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE; Wright et al. 2010, AJ, 140, 1868) is a NASA Medium Class Explorer mission that conducted a digital imaging survey of the entire sky in the 3.4, 4.6, 12 and 22 um mid-infrared bandpasses (hereafter W1, W2, W3 and W4). WISE produced and released to the world astronomical and educational communities and general public a digital Image Atlas covering the sky in the four survey bands, and a reliable Source Catalog containing accurate photometry and astrometry for over 500 million objects. The WISE Image Atlas is comprised of 18,240 4095x4095 pix @1.375"/pix FITS format image sets. One image set is produced for each Atlas Tile. Each image set consists of four intensity images, four depth of coverage maps, and four uncertainty maps.
