WENSS is a collaboration between the Netherlands Foundation for Research in Astronomy (NFRA/ASTRON) and the Leiden Observatory. The major personnel involved in WENSS include Ger de Bruyn, George Miley, Roeland Rengelink, Yuan Tang, Malcolm Bremer, Huub Rottgering, Ernst Raimond, Martin Bremer, and David Fullagar. The version of the WENSS Catalog as implemented at the HEASARC is a union of two separate catalogs obtained from the WENSS Website: the WENSS Polar Catalog (18186 sources above +72 degrees declination) and the WENSS Main Catalog (211234 sources in the declination region from +28 to +76 degrees). This database table was created by the HEASARC in February 2001 based on the tables wenssn10.cat (WENSS Main Catalog) and wenssp10.cat (WENSS Polar Catalog) obtained from the WENSS web site at <a href="http://www.strw.leidenuniv.nl/">http://www.strw.leidenuniv.nl/</a>.
