unWISE Data in Amazon Open Data Repository

IRSA has made the unWISE coadded data available in the Amazon Open Data Repository. unWISE is a reprocessing of Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) data which preserves the native angular resolution and is optimized for forced photometry. WISE was a NASA satellite producing all-sky imaging in four infrared bands centered at 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 microns (W1, W2, W3, and W4) starting in 2010 until the coolant was exhausted in 2011. It was reactivated in 2013 as NEOWISE and continued imaging in W1 and W2 until the end of July 2024.
