The WF/PC-1 was used from April 1990 to November 1993, to obtain high resolution images of astronomical objects over a relatively wide field of view and a broad range of wavelengths (1150 to 11,000 Angstroms).
Spectra from the Univsity of Wisconsin Pine Bluff Observatory
in the 3,200 - 7,750 Å range, resolution ~ 80, V_max ~ 15, ~ 2800 observations
of ~ 400 targets, 1989-1998. Note spectropolarimetry data is also included.
Observations complement those obtained from the ASTRO WUPPE project.
UV spectra in the 1,400 - 3,200 Å range, resolution ~ 140, V_max ~ 14,
~ 400 observations of ~ 200 targets, 2 NASA-funded shuttle missions (12/90 & 3/95).
Note spectropolarimetry data is also available.
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.
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
