Abstract

We present deep, full-sky maps built from Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) and NEOWISE exposures spanning the 2010 January - 2020 December time period. These coadds, which incorporate roughly 8 years of W1 (3.4 microns) and W2 (4.6 microns) imaging, are the deepest ever full-sky maps at wavelengths of 3-5 microns. Photometry based on these coadds will be a component of DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys DR10.
