Please include the following standard acknowledgment in any published material that makes use of data products from the primary WISE mission (Image Atlas, Source Catalog, Known Solar System Object Possible Association List):

"This publication makes use of data products from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, which is a joint project of the University of California, Los Angeles, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory/California Institute of Technology, funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration."

ii. Acknowledging NEOWISE

The current diameters are available through the PDS release , and should be referenced with:
"Mainzer, A.K., Bauer, J.M., Cutri, R.M., Grav, T., Kramer, E.A., Masiero, J.R., Nugent, C.R., Sonnett, S.M., Stevenson, R.A., and Wright, E.L., NEOWISE Diameters and Albedos V1.0. EAR-A-COMPIL-5-NEOWISEDIAM-V1.0. NASA Planetary Data System, 2016."

The preliminary diameter paper is outdated:
