WISE photometry compared to Spitzer IRAC and MIPS-24. The isophotal apertures have been matched between WISE and Spitzer in most cases (filled circles); the open-circle symbols denotes those Spitzer measurements in which the mosaic was too small to capture the total flux, or when the source photometry may be compromised (blending or source confusion). The galaxy name is indicated next to the measurement, where single numbers represent the NGC #. The horizontal lines represent the expect flux ratios for specified Hubble types (see legend), derived from model templates integrated over the WISE and Spitzer RSRs.
