    • CatWISE2020 Catalog

    Metadata Updated: April 10, 2026

    The CatWISE2020 catalog contains positions and brightnesses for 1,890,715,640 sources selected from combined WISE and NEOWISE all-sky survey data collected from 2010 to 2018 at 3.4 and 4.6 microns (W1 and W2). CatWISE adapts AllWISE software to measure the sources in co-added images created from six month subsets of these data, each representing one coverage of the inertial sky, or epoch. The catalog includes the measured motion of sources in 12 epochs over the 8 year span of the data.
