IV. NEOWISE Data Processing

IV.5. Archive Preparation


Contents

a. NEOWISE Single-exposure Source Database
b. NEOWISE Single-exposure Frame Metadata

The NEOWISE archive is built upon the existing infrastructure established for WISE data products within the NASA/IPAC InfraRed Science Archive (IRSA). NEOWISE data are processed with the WISE Science Data System to generate Single-Exposure Images and the Single-Exposure Source Database (I.3). The Archive Preparation subsystem compiles source detection data, image data, and metadata (data about the data) from the processing system, generates additional columns in the data structures that are not standard pipeline products, and outputs the combined data in Single-Exposure Source and Metadata files that are readable by the database loading system created by IRSA.

All data are prepared as described in section IV.7 of the WISE All-Sky Release Explanatory Supplement. The following highlights the new columns in the NEOWISE tables.

IV.5.a. NEOWISE Single-exposure Source Database

Column descriptions for the NEOWISE Single-exposure Source Database are found in section II.1.a.

IV.5.b. NEOWISE Single-exposure Frame Metadata
