Abstract

The NEOWISE project is the asteroid-hunting portion of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission. Funded by NASA's Planetary Science Division, NEOWISE harvests measurements of asteroids and comets from the WISE images and provides a rich archive for searching WISE data for solar system objects. Here we update our full-depth coadds by folding in the most recently published year of W1/W2 exposures released by NEOWISER. These new single-frame data were acquired between 2015 December 13 and 2016 December 13, and became public in 2017 June. In the present work, we simply re-ran the latest unWISE coaddition code (Meisner et al. 2017a) on inputs including this additional year of publicly available NEOWISER frames. The resulting set of full-depth coadds uniformly incorporates all publicly available W1 and W2 exposures, with observation dates ranging from 2010 January 7 to 2016 December 13. The inputs consisted of a ~ 10.5 million frames per band, totaling a ~ 140 terabytes of single-exposure pixel data. Original acknowledgement for data: This publication also makes use of data products from NEOWISE, which is a project of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory/California Institute of Technology, funded by the Planetary Science Division of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
