Title:	The NEOWISE 2015 Data Release
Topic:	Data Tips and Techniques
Abstract:	The NEOWISE project has been reporting moving object tracklets to the IAU Minor Planet Center three times per week since December 2013 when infrared observations were resumed using the reactivated WISE spacecraft. As of early November 2014, NEOWISE has logged over 100,000 infrared detections of ~9500 different solar system objects. In this talk, I will describe the contents, characteristics and data access modes for the first release of NEOWISE single-exposure image and extracted source data that is scheduled for March 2015. This release is comprised of all data acquired during the first year of NEOWISE observations that covered the full sky two complete times. Release products consist of approximately 2.2 million 3.4 and 4.6 micron FITS image sets and a database of positions, 2-band fluxes and ancillary information for approximately 18.7 billion sources extracted from those images. This dataset is a source of precise astrometry and infrared photometeric light curves of known solar system objects and a resource for precovery of objects discovered in the future. When combined with the single-exposure data from the original 2010-2011 WISE mission, the NEOWISE data also provide an unprecedented time-domain data set with which to study both solar system and more distant objects that spans a five year baseline, with between 60 and 8000 independent infrared measurements.
