The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE; Wright et al. 2010) and the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center (IPAC) announce the WISE All-Sky Data Release.

WISE surveyed the entire sky at 3.4, 4.6, 12 and 22 microns in 2010, achieving 5-sigma point source sensitivities better than 0.08, 0.11, 1 and 6 mJy in the four bands in unconfused regions on the ecliptic plane. The WISE All-Sky Release incorporates all data taken during the WISE full cryogenic mission phase, 7 January to 6 August 2010. All data were reprocessed with improved calibrations and reduction algorithms for the All-Sky Release. Release data products include an Atlas of match-filtered, calibrated and coadded images in the four WISE bands, a Source Catalog containing positions and four-band photometry for over 563 million objects, and an Explanatory Supplement.

Ancillary products include an archive of calibrated WISE single-exposure images and a database of 9.4 billion source extractions made from those images, and moving object tracklets identified by the NEOWISE program (Mainzer et al. 2011).

A quick guide to the Release data products, data access instructions and supporting documentation is available. A summary of the WISE mission resources is available on the WISE mission page.

IRSA announces new data releases from the COSMOS team, the 5MUSES, SAGE-Spec, and SASS Spitzer Legacy teams, and the Abell1763 contributed data set.

The COSMOS team has released catalogs of X-ray groups and group member galaxies.

The second and final 5MUSES data release consists of low-resolution (SL and LL) IRS spectra of 330 galaxies, along with high resolution (SH and LH) spectra of 21 galaxies.

The third and final SAGE-Spec data release includes all IRS staring mode spectra within the SAGE footprint, updated to the final S18.18 IRS pipeline version.

The third and final SASS data release includes updated documentation and positions for the 159 stars in SASS.

The Abell1763 data release consists of images of the galaxy cluster Abell 1763 at all Spitzer bands, along with ground-based r, J, H, and K-band observations and two photometry catalogs.

This image from WISE shows four galaxies in the Virgo cluster: Messier 59, Messier 60, NGC4647, and NGC4638. It also shows the tracks of three asteroids, which appear in this image as trails of green dots.
