Try Xamin, the New HEASARC Discovery and Data Retrieval System
A faster, more powerful way to access data from the HEASARC
|
The High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) is the
primary archive for NASA's (and other space agencies') missions dealing with
electromagnetic radiation from
extremely energetic phenomena ranging from
black holes to the Big Bang. Since its
merger with the Legacy Archive for Microwave Background Data Analysis (LAMBDA) in 2008, the HEASARC's
holdings contain data
obtained by NASA's high-energy astronomy missions observing in the
extreme-ultraviolet (EUV), X-ray, and gamma-ray bands, as well as data from
missions, balloons, and ground-based facilities that have studied the relic
cosmic microwave background (CMB).

The Swift Caldb has been updated for the SC (update version 20130507).
- Radio-Selected Extended Chandra Deep Field South Source Catalog (06 May 2013)
This catalog of the derived X-ray properties and redshifts of
268 radio-selected Chandra X-ray sources
in the 4-Ms CDF-S and E-CDF-S fields (from Vattakunnel et al. 2012, MNRAS,
420, 2190) is now available in Browse and (within half a day) in

- Planck Catalog of Sunyaev-Zeldovich Sources Release 1 (03 May 2013)
This table of 1227 clusters and cluster candidates
detected by their S-Z effect on the CMB (from the
Planck Collaboration 2013, A&A, in press) is now available in Browse
and (within half a day) in
Xamin.
- NASA's Fermi, Swift See 'Shockingly Bright' Burst (03 May 2013)
A record-setting blast of gamma rays from a dying star in a distant galaxy has wowed astronomers around the world. The eruption, which is classified as a gamma-ray burst, or GRB, and designated GRB 130427A, produced the highest-energy light ever detected from such an event.
- GALEX Time Domain Survey (TDS) Catalog of Ultraviolet Variable Sources (01 May 2013)
This catalog of 1078 GALEX NUV sources in the TDS fields which
varied by more than 5 sigma in at least one epoch (from Gezari et al. 2013,
ApJ, 766, 60) is now available in Browse and (within half a day)
Xamin.
- NASA News Release: Chandra Studies Giant Gas Cloud in System NGC 6240 (01 May 2013)
Scientists have used Chandra to make a detailed study of an
enormous cloud of hot gas enveloping two large, colliding galaxies in the
system called NGC 6240. This unusually large reservoir of gas contains as much
mass as 10 billion Suns, spans about 300,000 light years, and radiates at a
temperature of more than 7 million degrees, according to (Nardini
et al. (2013, ApJ, 765, 141).
