VizieR Online Data Catalog: NEOWISE: thermal model fits for NEOs and MBAs (Masiero+, 2017)

The NEOWISE telescope uses beamsplitters and co-aligned detectors to simultaneously image the same 47'x47' area of sky onto two focal plane detectors with sensitivities centered at 3.4 and 4.6 μm. Each detector records the incident flux for 7.7 s exposures, followed by an ~2 s slew of the scan mirror that keeps the image stationary on the detectors during exposures. Exposures are separated by 11 s, and have an ~10% overlap in the scan direction. The nominal survey pattern results in most detections of moving objects being spaced ~3 hr apart over an ~30 hr period. We extracted all detections from NEOWISE (observatory code C51) recorded in the MPC's Observations Catalog (http://minorplanetcenter.net/iau/ECS/MPCAT-OBS/MPCAT-OBS.html) with observation dates between 2015 December 13 00:00 UT and 2016 December 12 23:59:59 UT.
