WASP（广角搜索行星）项目是一个系外行星过境调查，自2004年以来一直自动拍摄宽视场图像。两台仪器，一台在拉帕尔马，另一台在南非，持续监测夜空，建立数百万独特物体的光曲线。这些光变曲线被用来寻找系外行星凌日的特征。这是WASP档案的第一次公开数据发布（DR 1），提供了从2004年到2008年北方和南半球的所有光变曲线数据和图像。数据的网络界面（www.wasp.le.ac.uk/public/）便于通过互联网访问。数据集包含3631972幅原始图像和17970937条光变曲线。总的来说，光变曲线之间有119 930 299 362个数据点。
The WASP (wide angle search for planets) project is an exoplanet transit survey that has been automatically taking wide field images since 2004. Two instruments, one in La Palma and the other in South Africa, continually monitor the night sky, building up light curves of millions of unique objects. These light curves are used to search for the characteristics of exoplanetary transits. This first public data release (DR1) of the WASP archive makes available all the light curve data and images from 2004 up to 2008 in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. A web interface (www.wasp.le.ac.uk/public/) to the data allows easy access over the Internet. The data set contains 3 631 972 raw images and 17 970 937 light curves. In total the light curves have 119 930 299 362 data points available between them.
