The Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) began its digital imaging survey of the sky in the 3.4, 4.6, 12 and 22 micron bands in January 2010. WISE completed its first complete sky coverage in July and will continue to survey until its cryogens are exhausted later this year. A preliminary Image Atlas in the four WISE bands and a corresponding Source Catalog containing accurate positions and mid-infrared photometry that cover the first 55% of the sky surveyed will be released in April 2011.
The Infrared Processing and Analysis Center, California Institute of Technology is the WISE Science Data Center (WSDC) and is responsible for processing, archiving and distribution of WISE science data products. We describe the processing system that converts the raw science and engineering data into calibrated Atlas Images and Source Catalog entries, validates and archives these products, and enables access to them by the community. We also describe the general properties of the Preliminary Release data products including areal coverage, image and catalog formats and access modes.
