  You are not seeing a disk there, you are seeing a star in the center of the crosshair being contaminated by another source that start to show up in the 2MASS bands, there are no energy tranfer just contamination. The second source is more bright that the central object in the WISE bands and that bright contaminated all by the end in WISE 4.
