AllWISE Source Catalog

The AllWISE program builds upon the work of the successful Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer mission (WISE; Wright et al. 2010) by combining data from the WISE cryogenic and NEOWISE (Mainzer et al. 2011 ApJ, 731, 53) post-cryogenic survey phases to form the most comprehensive view of the full mid-infrared sky currently available. The AllWISE Source Catalog contains accurate positions, apparent motion measurements, four-band (3.4, 4.6, 12, 22 microns) fluxes and flux variability statistics for over 747 million objects detected on the coadded Atlas Images. The added depth and sensitivity, source motion measurements and improved flux variability information in the AllWISE products mean that they supersede the earlier All-Sky Data Release Catalog and Atlas for most uses.
