- Description:
- The WISE 3-Band Cryo Data Release products are comprised of data taken during the mission's 3-Band Cryo survey phase. This phase covers the time following the exhaustion of solid hydrogen in the WISE payload outer cryogen tank, while the detectors and telescope were still cooled by the inner cryogen tank. During this time, WISE's W1, W2 and W3 bands were operational and continued to acquire useful data, but the W4 detector was saturated by thermal emission from the warming telescope. The sensitivity achieved in the W1 and W2 bands was similar to that during the full cryogenic mission phase. The W3 measurement sensitivity was degraded and decreased steadily during the 3-Band Cryo phase because of the increasing telescope temperature and decreasing exposure times. 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 (VIII.1.a.i). 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. WISE scanned along lines of constant ecliptic longitude from near one ecliptic pole to near the other pole with a scan rate close to the orbital rate of 3.8 arc-minutes/second in order to always point away from the Earth. Each semi-circular track from ecliptic pole to ecliptic pole is called a scan. During each scan WISE took a frameset every 11 seconds. Each Post-Cryo frameset contains two images, one for each of the W1 and W2 bands, both observing the same 47x47 arc-minute square patch of 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 NEOWISE 2015 Data Release is the first annual release of Single-exposure data, and contains all observations from the first year of survey operations, 13 December 2013 to 13 December 2014 UTC. NEOWISE scanned the sky nearly two complete times during this period, accumulating 24 or more independent exposures on each point on the sky. The 2015 NEOWISE Release data products include single-exposure Images - 2,497,867 calibrated 1016x1016 pix @2.75"/pix FITS image sets for the individual 7.7 sec W1 and W2 NEOWISE survey exposures. Each image set consists of two intensity images, noise maps, and bit-masks indicating pixel use status, one each for the W1 and W2 bands.

- Description:
- This table is a subset of gaia_source comprising those stars in the Hipparcos and Tycho-2 Catalogues for which a full 5-parameter astrometric solution has been possible in Gaia Data Release 1. This is possible because the early Hipparcos epoch positions break some degeneracies due to the limited Gaia time coverage. This table contains a substantial fraction of the around 2.5 million stars in the Hipparcos and Tycho-2 catalogue. Many stars have been excluded due to several reasons, such as saturation, cross-match errors or bad astrometric solution.

Each image set consists of intensity images, coverage maps, and uncertainty maps, one each for the W1, W2, and W3 bands.

Each image set consists of intensity images, noise maps, and bit-masks indicating pixel use status, one each for the W1, W2, and W3 bands.
