Scientific paper

The Wide-field Infrared Explorer (WISE) all-sky survey will supply mid-infrared spectral energy distributions to most of the objects detected in the near-IR 2MASS survey. This makes the WISE database ideal for detecting and characterizing stars with `warm'
infrared excess out to 12 and 22 microns. Using these data, the WISE science team has found new candidate debris disks around nearby stars and white dwarfs. The team is also studying the population of star-forming clouds in regions outside of those mapped by targeted surveys. This talk will discuss highlights of WISE investigations of galactic infrared excess stars and diffuse nebulosity.
