NEOWISE Final Data Release

The NEOWISE Final Data Release includes data acquired during the eleventh year of the NEOWISE Reactivation mission. These data are combined with data from the first ten years of NEOWISE mission into a single archive that contains ~26.9 million sets of 3.4 and 4.6 micron images and a database of ~199 billion source detections extracted from those images.

Spectral Data Sets in the Data Collection Explorer

IRSA's Data Collection Explorer (DCE) includes new spectroscopic data sets.

AllWISE Full-Depth Ecliptic Polar Atlas

The AllWISE Full-Depth Ecliptic Polar Atlas is now available at IRSA. These full-depth image sets of 73 tiles taken near the ecliptic poles (36 in the North and 37 in the South) are provided to augment the AllWISE Atlas Images.

Red MSX Source Catalog

The Red MSX Source Catalog is now available at IRSA. This data set is the largest statistically selected catalog of young massive protostars and HII regions to date.

Firefly Updates

We have updated many of IRSA's graphical user interfaces, including IRSA Viewer, the Data Collection Explorer, the Catalog Search Tool, Finder Chart, WISE, and ZTF. Updates include the ability to read and write Parquet files, improved overlays of large catalogs on background images, more obvious color linkages between tables and overlays, and bug fixes.

ENSCI Survey

The Euclid NASA Science Center at IPAC (ENSCI) is doing a User Survey for the US Euclid community to support the upcoming Euclid Q1 data release. In particular, ENSCI would like to get a better understanding of how the US community is interacting with Euclid data and how they can best advocate for and support them. Please fill out the survey, it should take about 6 minutes of your time and your participation helps ENSCI support you.
