Abstract:
The CatWISE2020 Catalog consists of 1,890,715,640 sources over the
entire sky selected from WISE and NEOWISE survey data at 3.4 and 4.6um
(W1 and W2) collected from 2010 Jan 7 to 2018 Dec 13. This dataset
adds two years to that used for the CatWISE Preliminary Catalog
(Eisenhardt+ 2020ApJS..247...69E), bringing the total to six times as
many exposures spanning over sixteen times as large a time baseline as
the AllWISE catalog. The other major change from the CatWISE
Preliminary Catalog is that the detection list for CatWISE2020 was
generated using "crowdsource" software (Schlafly+ 2019ApJS..240...30S),
while the Preliminary Catalog used the detection software used for
AllWISE (II/328). These two factors result in roughly twice as many
sources in CatWISE2020. The scatter with respect to Spitzer photometry
at faint magnitudes in the COSMOS field, which is out of the Galactic
plane and at low ecliptic latitude (corresponding to lower WISE
coverage depth) is similar to that for the CatWISE Preliminary
Catalog. The 90% completeness depth for CatWISE2020 is at roughly
W1=17.7 and W2=17.5, about 1.7 mag deeper than in the Preliminary
Catalog. From comparison to Gaia, CatWISE2020 motions are over a dozen
times more accurate than those from AllWISE.
