- Description:
- During the final months of 2MASS observatory operations, a campaign of targeted "long exposure" observations was carried out during times when no previously unscanned parts of the sky were available for the main survey. These observations used the same freeze-frame scanning technique employed for the survey, but with READ2-READ1 exposures six times longer than was used for normal survey observations (hence they are referred to as "6x" observations). The 2MASS 6x measurements were intended to probe ~1 magnitude deeper than the main survey in unconfused regions. Approximately 590 deg2 of sky distributed in 30 targeted regions were scanned at least once using the long exposures. Most of this area is concentrated in two large, comprehensive surveys of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, 383 deg2 and 127 deg2, respectively. Twenty-eight additional smaller fields were mapped in the 6x mode from both observatories, covering targets that include the Pleiades open cluster, galactic star formation complexes, M31, nearby galaxy clusters and the Lockman Hole.

- Description:
- The Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS; Skrutskie et al. 2006, AJ 131, 1163) was a survey of the entire sky in three infrared wavebands: J (1.235 microns), H (1.662 microns), and KS (2.159 microns). The 2MASS All-Sky Data Release products include 4,121,439 Atlas Images (512 x 1024 pixels, 1 arcsec/pixel) in the three survey bands. For users wishing to visualize regions of the sky that are significantly larger than the Atlas Images, or that fall close to the edge of an Atlas Image, the NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) has created 6 x 6 degree 2MASS mosaics. The primary set consists of 1,734 mosaics with a 1 arcsecond pixel scale (the same pixel scale as the Atlas Images), resulting in individual files that are 1.9 Gb. Also available are 52 Mb mosaics that have been binned to a 6 arcsecond pixel scale.

- Title:
- NEOWISE Post-Cryo Image Atlas
- Short Name:
- NEOWISE_Postcryo
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
- 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 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 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 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.
