- Description:
- Version 2.3 of the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) Point Source Catalog (PSC), which supercedes the version (1.2) that was released in 1999, contains over 100,000 more sources than the previous version. The photometry is based on co-added image plates, as opposed to single-scan data, which results in improved sensitivity and hence reliability in the fluxes. Comparison with Tycho-2 positions indicates that the astrometric accuracy of the new catalog is more than 1'' better than that in Version 1.2. In addition to the Galactic plane, Areas Missed by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), and the Large Magellanic Cloud, which were included in the previous catalog, Version 2.3 includes data from the Small Magellanic Cloud, eight nearby galaxies, and several molecular clouds and star forming regions.

- Description:
- The NEOWISE Post-Cryo Data Release products were generated using data taken during the mission's Post-Cryo survey phase. This phase covers the time following the exhaustion of solid hydrogen in the WISE payload inner cryogen tank, when the detectors and optics gradually warmed until they reached a stable equilibrium temperature near 73.5 K. During this time, WISE's W1 and W2 detectors continued to acquire high quality imaging data with sensitivities close to that during the mission's cryogenic survey phases. The W3 and W4 detectors were fully saturated by the thermal emission from the warming telescope. WISE scanned approximately 70% of the sky during the Post-Cryo survey phase continuing with the same strategy that was used during the full cryogenic survey. The Known Solar System Object Possible Associations List is a compendium of asteroids and comets, with orbits known at the time of WISE second-pass data processing, that were predicted to be within the field-of-view at the time of individual WISE exposures. Individual objects were observed multiple times, so may have multiple entries in the list. When the predicted position of a solar system object is in proximity to a detection in the WISE single-exposures, the WISE source position and brightness information are also provided.

- Publisher:
- NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
- Description:
- The NEOWISE Post-Cryo Single-exposure Source Database contains 7,337,642,955 measurements of positions and brightness information, uncertainties, time of observation and assorted quality flags made on the individual WISE 7.7s (W1 and W2) Single-exposure images. Because WISE scanned every point on the sky multiple times, the Single-exposure Database contains multiple, independent measurements of objects on the sky. Entries in the Single-exposure Source Database include detections of real astrophysical objects, as well as spurious detections of low SNR noise excursions, transient events such as hot pixels, charged particle strikes and satellite streaks, and image artifacts light from bright sources including the moon. Many of the unreliable detections are flagged in the Single-exposure Database, but they have not been filtered out as they were for the All-Sky Release Source Catalog. Therefore, the Database must be used with caution. Users are strongly encouraged to read the Cautionary Notes before using the Database.

- Description:
- The 2013 NEOWISE Post-Cryo Data Release is comprised of data taken during the four month period following the complete exhaustion of cryogens in the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE; Wright et al. 2010) payload. During this period, known as the NEOWISE Post-Cryo mission phase, data were collected by the 3.4 and 4.6 um detectors at sensitivities similar to those achieved during the full cryogenic phase. WISE scanned approximately 70% of the sky during the Post-Cryo phase, completing a survey of the inner Main Asteroid Belt and a second coverage of the inertial sky. WISE is a NASA Astrophysics Division Medium Class Explorer mission that conducted a sensitive mid-infrared imaging survey of the entire sky in 2010 and 2011. WISE mapped the sky with a 40 cm telescope and camera equipped with four 1kx1k array detectors that imaged the same 47'x47' field-of-view at 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 um (W1, W2, W3 and W4) simultaneously. The WISE telescope, optics and detectors were cooled by a two-stage solid hydrogen cryostat. WISE surveyed the sky 1.2 times between January 7 and August 6 2010, during its full cryogenic mission phase, when both inner and outer cryogen tanks held hydrogen ice and all detectors operated at full sensitivity. Data collected during this phase make up the March 2012 All-Sky Data Release, which is the best compendium of information about the static mid-infrared sky. WISE continued to survey an additional 30% of the sky between 6 August and 29 September 2010 UTC, the 3-Band Cryo phase, using the W1, W2 and W3 detectors after the hydrogen ice sublimated in the outer cryogen tank, but while the detectors were still cooled by cryogen in the inner tank. Data collected during this phase comprised the June 2012 supplemental 3-Band Cryo Data Release. The NEOWISE Post-Cryo mission phase began on 29 September 2010 UTC after the solid hydrogen in the inner cryogen tank was exhausted and the focal plane assemblies, optics and telescope gradually warmed to approximately 73.5 K. The W1 and W2 HgCdTe detectors remained fully operational during this time with sensitivities close to those observed in the cryogenic mission phases (Figures 1 and 2), although the number of high noise pixels increased as the detectors warmed. No useful data were collected by the W3 and W4 Si:As detectors that were above their operating temperatures and were saturated by thermal emission from payload. WISE surveyed approximately 70% of the sky in the Post-Cryo mission phase until 1 February 2011 UTC when data collection was halted.

- Description:
- The NEOWISE Post-Cryo Preliminary Data Release contains 3.4 and 4.6 um (W1 and W2) Single-exposure image and extracted source data that were acquired by Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE; Wright et al. 2010) following the exhaustion of solid hydrogen in the satellite's payload inner and outer cryogen tanks. During this period, known as the NEOWISE Post-Cryo survey phase, the WISE optics and focal plane assemblies warmed to 73.5 K, and the W1 and W2 HgCdTe detectors continued to operate with sensitivities close to those achieved during the full cryogenic mission phase. No useful data were obtained by WISE's 12 and 22 um Si:As detectors because of the higher temperatures. WISE scanned approximately 70% of the sky during the Post-Cryo phase, completing a survey of the inner Main Asteroid Belt, and a second coverage epoch of the inertial sky.

- Description:
- The Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer Reactivation Mission (NEOWISE; Mainzer et al. 2014, ApJ, 792, 30) is a NASA Planetary Science Division space-based survey to detect, track and characterize asteroids and comets, and to learn more about the population of near-Earth objects that could pose an impact hazard to the Earth. NEOWISE systematically images the sky at 3.4 and 4.6 μm, obtaining multiple independent observations on each location that enable detection of previously known and new solar system small bodies by virtue of the their motion. Because it is an infrared survey, NEOWISE detects asteroid thermal emission and is equally sensitive to high and low albedo objects. The Known Solar-System Object Possible Associations List is a compendium of asteroids, comets, planets or planetary satellites, with orbits known at the time of NEOWISE data processing, that were predicted to be within the field-of-view at the time of individual NEOWISE Single-exposures. Individual objects were observed multiple times, so may have multiple entries in the list. When the predicted position of a solar system object is in proximity to a detection in the NEOWISE Single-exposures, the NEOWISE detection position and brightness information are also provided.

The following table contains brief descriptions of all metadata information that is relevant to the processing of Single-exposure (level 1) images and the extraction of sources from the corresponding Single-exposure images. The table contains the unique scan ID and frame number for specific each single-exposure image and the reconstructed right ascension and declination of the image center. Much of the information in this table is processing-specific, and may not be of interest to general users (e.g. flags indicating whether frames have been processed or not, and the date and time for starting of the pipeline etc). The metadata table also contains some characterization and derived statistics of the Single-exposure image frames, basic parameters used for photometry and derived statistics for extracted sources and artifacts. For example, it contains the number of sources with profile-fit photometry Signal-to-Noise (SNR) greater than 3, and the total number of real sources affected by artifacts such as latent images and electronic ghosts.
