- Description:
- The VLA Low-Frequency Sky Survey (VLSS) is a 74 MHz continuum survey covering the entire sky north of -30 degrees declination. Using the VLA in BnA and B-configurations, it will map the entire survey region at a resolution of 80" and with an average rms noise of 0.1 Jy/beam. <p> This version include the data from the VLSS redux which increased the coverage region slightly and substantially improved the data reduction. Details are in the Lane et al. (2012) reference. Provenance: <b>VLSS Team: </b>R.A. Perley, J.J. Condon, W.D. Cotton (NRAO); A.S. Cohen, W.M. Lane (NRC/NRL), N.E. Kassim, T.J.W. Lazio (NRL), W.C.

- Description:
- This survey is a deep, high resolution radio survey of a relatively small region that has particularly deep coverage in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. As described in the reference abstract: This is a high-resolution radio survey of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Southern Equatorial Stripe, a.k.a., Stripe 82. This 1.4 GHz survey was conducted from 2007 to 2009 with the Very Large Array primarily in the A-configuration, with supplemental B-configuration data to increase sensitivity to extended structure. The survey has an angular resolution of 1.8" and achieves a median rms noise of 53 microJy/beam over 92 square degrees. This is the deepest 1.4 GHz survey to achieve this large of an area filling in the phase space between small&deep and large&shallow surveys. <p> The astrometric accuracy of the data is excellent with errors in observed sources of 0.10" in both RA and declination. A comparison with the SDSS DR7 Quasar Catalog confirms that the astrometry is well tied to the optical reference frame with mean offsets of 0.02+/-0.01" in RA and 0.01+/-0.02 in declination.

- Description:
- WINGS (WIde-field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey) is an all-sky (|b|>20) survey of a complete, X-ray selected sample of galaxy clusters in the redshift range 0.04-0.07. The core of the WINGS project is the optical (B,V) imaging survey. It provides photometric data for huge samples of galaxies (~550,000) and stars (~190,000) in the inner field (34'x34') of 77 nearby galaxy clusters.

- 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.

- Description:
- The AllWISE program extends the work of the successful Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer mission (WISE; Wright et al. 2010, AJ, 140, 1868) by combining data from the cryogenic and post-cryogenic survey phases to form the most comprehensive view of the mid-infrared sky currently available. AllWISE has produced a new Source Catalog and Image Atlas with enhanced sensitivity and accuracy compared with earlier WISE data releases. Advanced data processing for AllWISE exploits the two complete sky coverages to measure source motions for each Catalog source, and to compile a massive database of light curves for those objects. WISE is a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Medium Class Explorer mission that scanned the sky methodically in the 3.4, 4.6, 12 and 22 #m mid-infrared bandpasses (hereafter W1, W2, W3 and W4) in 2010 and 2011. The 40 cm WISE telescope and payload equipped with four 1024x1024 pixel focal plane detector arrays were cooled by a dual-stage solid hydrogen cryostat. WISE carried out its 4-Band (or Full) Cryogenic survey from 2010 January 7 to 2010 August 6, observing the sky 1.2 times with all four detectors operating at full sensitivity. After the hydrogen ice in the outer cryogen tank evaporated, WISE surveyed an additional 30% of the sky during its 3-Band Cryo phase, with the W1 and W2 detectors operating at near full sensitivity, and the W3 focal plane operating at reduced sensitivity. The NEOWISE Post-Cryo phase (Mainzer et al. 2011 ApJ, 731, 53), funded by the NASA Planetary Division, started on 2010 September 29 after cryogen in both tanks was exhausted, and continued until 2011 February 1. NEOWISE Post-Cryo observations covered 70% of the sky with W1 and W2 detectors operating at near full sensitivity. Images and extracted source data from each of the three survey phases were release separately in the March 2012 All-Sky Data Release, the June 2012 3-Band Cryo Data Release, and the May 2013 NEOWISE Post-Cryo Release.

- Description:
- NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE; Wright et al. 2010) mapped the sky at 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 um (W1, W2, W3, W4) in 2010 with an angular resolution of 6.1", 6.4", 6.5", & 12.0" in the four bands. During the full cryogenic survey phase, 7 January 2010 to 6 August 2010, when the detectors and telescope were cooled by solid hydrogen in both inner and outer cryogen tanks, WISE achieved 5 sigma point source sensitivities better than 0.08, 0.11, 1 and 6 mJy in unconfused regions on the ecliptic in the four bands. The sky was covered 1.2 times during this period, and the data acquired were used to construct the products for the March 2012 WISE All-Sky Data Release. The WISE 3-Band Cryo survey phase began on 6 August 2010 following the exhaustion of frozen hydrogen in the payload's outer cryogen tank. WISE scanned approximately 30% of the sky over the next 54 days while the focal planes were cooled by hydrogen ice in the inner cryogen tank. The telescope warmed from the 12 K maintained during the main mission to 45 K. Imaging data in the 3.4, 4.6 and 12 um bands were acquired, but elevated thermal emission from the telescope prevented useful data from being collected in the 22 um band. As illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, the 3-Band Cryo 3.4 and 4.6 um band measurements are nearly as sensitive as those in the full cryogenic survey, but the increasing temperature and reduced exposure times of the 12 um measurements result in significantly lower sensitivity.

- Description:
- From the <a href="https://wise2.ipac.caltech.edu/docs/release/allsky">WISE mission site:</a>. <hr> NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mapped the sky at 3.4, 4.6, 12 and 22 micrometers in 2010 with an angular resolution of 6.1", 6.4", 6.5" and 12.0" in the four bands. WISE achieved a 5 sigma point source sensitivities better and 0.08, 0.11 1 and 6 mJy in unconfused regions on the ecliptic in the four bands. Sensitivity improves toward the ecliptic poles due to denser coverage and lower zodaical background. <p> The WISE All-WISE includes all data taking during the WISE full cryogenic phase, from January 7, 2010 to August 6, 2010, that were processed with improved calibrations and reduction algorithms and combines this with the NEOWISE postcryogenic survey to form the most comprehensive view of the full mid-infrared sky. bibcode=1995ApJ...451..564V,2010ApJ...713..912W <hr> <p> SkyView includes the four WISE bands as separate surveys. Many non-image data products are available at the WISE site. Note that WISE data is distributed in relatively large (>50 MB) image files. When SkyView generates an image for a part of the sky where it has not yet cached the data from the IPAC server there may be a delay as full tiles are downloaded even when only a small fraction of a tile is needed. Images in cached regions, are generated much faster. Access to the WISE data uses the VO SIA interface maintained at IPAC. Even when data is cached, the SIA service must still be available for successful queries. Provenance: WISE Archive (IRSA/IPAC). This is a service of NASA HEASARC.

Primary release data products include an Atlas of 10,464 calibrated, coadded Image Sets, a Source Catalog containing positional and photometric information for over 257 million objects detected on the WISE images, and an Explanatory Supplement that provides a user's guide to the WISE mission and format, content, characteristics and cautionary notes for the Release products.
