JWST Galactic Plane fields — wd2

7 withheld as superseded. The sources these were staged from are no longer the files they were copied from -- they have been rebuilt or replaced since, so these are the older bytes. Why is not recorded here, and no claim is made about their astrometry: F150W, F162M, F164N, F187N, F212N. 3 withheld: source no longer on disk. The mosaics these were staged from are not where the release recorded them, so the staged copies cannot be re-verified against anything. Why they are gone is not recorded here: F444W. They will return when the field is re-staged from current products.

Curated colour images -- the published renders. Tuned stretches, channels chosen far apart, and each program combined with itself.

Full provenance for these renders: wd2_curated.json -- source path and checksum, the checksum of the bytes served, and whether the AVM astrometry survived resizing. These are curated renders, not staged data products; the mosaics they were made from are in the table below.

Automatically generated previews, one per pointing and enough wavelength combinations that every released band appears in at least one.

2 colour previews: one per pointing, and enough wavelength combinations that every band below appears in at least one.

Files are served from the JWST root Globus collection; downloading requires a free Globus login. Checksums and full provenance are in MANIFEST.json.

Catalogs

Preliminary catalog release. The field-wide merged photometry table is still being built; only the per-filter vetted catalogs are provided for now. The merged table will be added in a later update.

Astrometric provenance

This field has no registered pointing correction. It is absent from the pipeline's alignment registry, so no per-exposure correction was applied and these products carry the raw assign_wcs astrometry. Do not assume they are tied to Gaia or VIRAC2. (A field in this state shipped mosaics ~14.8″ off before it was noticed.)

1 reference-tie measurement(s) exist for this field, and none is shown here: they are not attached to what this version ships — either the version carries no pointing-correction table, or the measurements postdate the release. A later version's page carries the ties that describe it.
