The High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) is the primary archive for NASA's (and other space agencies') missions studying electromagnetic radiation from extremely energetic cosmic 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 archive contains data obtained by high-energy astronomy missions observing in the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV), X-ray, and gamma-ray bands, as well as data from space missions, balloons, and ground-based facilities that have studied the relic cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation in the sub-mm, mm and cm bands.

Try ROSAT 3c273 1d to get ROSAT data within one degree of 3C273 or chanmaster bii>80 status='archived' to get archived Chandra observation data near the north galactic pole.

Note: For more than one target or when using any qualifier other than a mission, use quotes around targets that have embedded white space.(e.g., 'ar lac').

Latest News
  • Viewing tool updated (08 Mar 2016)
    The Viewing software has been updated to version 3.4. Chandra's Sun-angle constraint has been updated. For Chandra, it will also now report the visibility windows for unrestricted observations.
  • NuSTAR Cycle 2 Results (04 Mar 2016)
    The list of NuSTAR targets accepted by the Cycle 2 peer review is now available. Cycle 2 observations will start to be routinely performed on May 1, 2016. Written evaluations will be sent to all NuSTAR Cycle 2 PIs in the next few weeks. As specified in the AO, U.S. PIs of proposals with category A or B targets will be invited to submit phase-2 funding proposals. Note that 0.5 Ms of NuSTAR observing time is also available through the Chandra Cycle 18 CfP, due March 15, 2016.
  • Roma-BZCAT Multi-Frequency Catalog of Blazars (03 Mar 2016)
    The 5th edition of this catalog containing information on the multi-frequency properties of 3561 blazars and blazar candidates (from Massaro et al. 2013, Ap&SS, 357, 75) is now available in Browse and Xamin.
  • Viewing and WebPIMMS tools updated (01 Mar 2016)
    These tools have been updated to reflect the renaming of Astro-H to Hitomi.
  • The Hitomi Satellite Has Completed Its Critical Initial Operation Phase (29 Feb 2016)
    The JAXA X-ray astronomy satellite Hitomi, formerly known as Astro-H, has successfully completed a sequence of important operations, including turning the cooling system on, test operation of the Soft X-ray Spectrometer (SXS), and extending the Extensible Optical Bench (EOB) for the Hard X-ray imager (HXI). Hitomi is now in a stable condition and will perform the initial functional verification of the onboard instruments for the next month and a half.
  • Joint NuSTAR/INTEGRAL Observing Time is Available in INTEGRAL AO-14 (29 Feb 2016)
    In the just-released INTEGRAL Fourteenth Announcement of Opportunity, ESA is providing the opportunity to propose for coordinated observations with NuSTAR for a total of 100 ks of available time. The deadline for INTEGRAL AO-14 proposals is April 8th, 2016.
