- Description:
- The Wide-Field Plate Database (WFPDB) contains the descriptive information for the astronomical wide-field (~>1deg.) photographic observations stored in numerous archives all over the world. When finished it will provide an on-line access to the information for about 2 million observations from nearly 300 archives, obtained since the end of last century. Presently the WFPDB includes data for about 330 000 observations from 57 plate catalogues. About 120 000 observations more from 32 plate catalogs are in preparation to be included in the database. The WFPDB provides for each observation information for the corresponding archive, the parameters of the observational instrument, the observation parameters (position on sky, observation time, object name, method, exposure time, emulsion type, filter type, spectral band, plate size), as well as data on the plate quality, comments, and observers. Data on the plate availability and digitization will be supplemented in the WFPDB in the future.

- Description:
- The Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photo-Polarimeter Experiment WUPPE was one of three ultraviolet telescopes on the ASTRO-1 mission flown on the space shuttle Columbia during 2-10 December, 1990. 98 observations of 75 targets were obtained. The same three instruments were later flown on the space shuttle Endeavour from 3-17 March, 1995, as part of the ASTRO-2 mission. During the longer ASTRO-2 mission, 369 observations of 254 targets were obtained.

- Description:
- NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE; Wright et al. 2010) mapped the sky at 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 μm (W1, W2, W3, W4) in 2010 with an angular resolution of 6.1", 6.4", 6.5", and 12.0" in the four bands. WISE achieved 5σ point source sensitivities better than 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 zodiacal background. The WISE All-Sky Release Source Catalog is mirrored at MAST and is thus available as a cone search. All available catalogs are listed at http://archive.stsci.edu/vo/mast_services.html.

- Description:
- The XMM-Newton observatory is a cornerstone mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) Horizon 2000 program. This spacecraft, the largest ever flown by ESA for a scientific program, was launched on December 10, 1999, carrying a payload funded by ESA member states and the USA (NASA). The scientific payload comprises three CCD imaging cameras (European Photon Imaging Cameras, EPIC), sensitive in the 0.1-15 keV band, and two Reflecting Grating Spectrometers (RGS), sensitive in the 0.3-2.1 keV band, and characterized by a resolving power E/{Delta}E = 100 to 800. The X-ray instruments are complemented by an Optical Monitor, sensitive in the 150-650nm band, which allows simultaneous multiwavelength monitoring of celestial sources. The XMM-Newton observational program is determined on the bases of the proposals sent in response to Announcement of Opportunities, and selected by peer review panels. The XMM-Newton Science Archive (XSA) contains all the science data of all the performed observations. Its user interface (http:xmm.vilspa.esa.es/xsa) allows a user to retrieve them after the 1-year proprietary period has expired. Calibration observations are normally not covered by proprietary rights; their data being therefore public. Target of Opportunity and Discretionary Time observations have a 6-months proprietary period. For each archived observation, the XSA stores Observation Data Files (ODF) and Pipeline Processing System (PPS) products, if available, as well as the XMM-Newton EPIC serendipitous catalogue, the OM source catalogue and the Slew Survey Source Catalogue (see the catalogues documentation at http://xmm.esac.esa.int/xsa). The ODF comprises raw telemetry files, reformatted in FITS format, and contains uncalibrated information. The PPS products are a collection of top-level, validated scientific and cross-correlation products, routinely generated by the Science Survey Center, University of Leicester, UK (http://xmmssc-www.star.le.ac.uk). The content of the XSA is updated daily. The latest version of all the scientific data is made available through its interface. Systematic reprocessing of all the XMM-Newton telemetry is periodically carried on during the mission. The last bulk reprocessing was performed in 2007. The XMM-Newton observation log lists all the science observations included in the XSA. This log gives observation details and provides links to quick-look scientific products, to documents describing XMM-Newton science and calibration data, and to the SAS (Science Analysis System), a specific software package designed to reduce and analyze XMM-Newton data. Additional links in the log allows a user to start a retrieval session for the data of an observation, whenever not protected by proprietary rights.

- Description:
- The Newton X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM) was launched in December, 1999 with a projected lifetime of 10 years. Although intended primarily as an X-ray observatory, XMM included a small but powerful optical/UV 30 cm telescope co-aligned with the X-ray telescopes for contemporaneous observations. The modified Ritchey-Chretien telescope is capable of detecting 24th magnitude sources in its 17 arcmin field of view. It provides images in the 160-600nm wave band with 1 arcsec resolution. MAST is serving a OM Mosaic product that uses a pipeline described by Kuntz et. al. OMCat: Catalog of Serendipitous Sources Detected with the XMM-Newton Optical Monitor PASP, 120:740-758
