VizieR Online Data Catalog: NEOWISE 6.5yr variability in YSOs (Park+, 2021)

WISE surveyed the entire sky in four bands, W1 (3.4um), W2 (4.6um), W3 (12um), and W4 (22um), with the spatial resolutions of 6.1", 6.4", 6.5", and 12", respectively, from 2010 January to September.

After the depletion of hydrogen from the cryostat, WISE operated using only the short wavelength bands, W1 and W2. The survey continued as the NEOWISE Post-Cryogenic Mission for an additional 4 months, until WISE went into hibernation in 2011 February. In 2013 September, WISE was reactivated and has performed observations in W1 and W2 as the NEOWISE-reactivation mission (NEOWISE-R) with the primary purpose of exploring the Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). NEOWISE-R is still operating and the latest released data set consists of 6.5yr W1 and W2 photometric observations.

To ensure a comprehensive list of nearby protostellar sources, our WISE samples are collected from 20 star-forming regions on the Gould Belt based on various YSO catalogs. We initially identified 6927 potential YSOs from the NEOWISE archival data. See Section 2.
