WMAP Data Products

The data made available through this page has been updated. The most recent version of this data may be accessed through /product/map/current/

The WMAP skymaps used the HEALPix nested pixel ordering scheme in Galactic coordinates. For the convenience of users who do not have HEALPix software installed, we provide a series of FITS sky map files that give the sky coordinates of each pixel center for various resolutions.
