Dataset

Description

This dataset consists of mid-infrared photometric data in four bands (3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 µm) over the entire sky. The ALLWISE image atlas contains 18,000+ four band calibrated 1.5x1.5 degree fits files, in addition to depth-of-coverage and noise maps. These atlas images were created by coadding almost 8 million single-exposure images. Individual tiles can be retrieved and downloaded here. Note that the atlas images have been intentionally blurred, so if you need the atlas images at their native resolution, Lang et al. 2014 provide an alternative here.
