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).

  • Extended Chandra Deep Field South 2nd Data Release 1.4-GHz VLA Source Catalog (24 May 2013)
    This table of 883 1.4-GHz radio sources and 49 components detected above a 5-sigma threshold in the ECDF-S (from Miller et al. 2013, ApJS, 205, 13) is now available in Browse and (within half a day) Xamin.
  • News Feature: NASA Builds Unusual Testbed for Analyzing X-Ray Navigation Technologies (22 May 2013)
    Pulsars have a number of unusual qualities: like zombies, they shine even though they are technically dead, and they rotate rapidly, emitting powerful and regular beams of radiation that are seen as flashes of light, blinking on and off at intervals from seconds to milliseconds. A NASA/GSFC team has built the Goddard X-ray Navigation Laboratory Testbed to simulate these distinctive pulsations.
  • XSPEC 12.8.0l,m Released (20 May 2013)
    Released May 17, 2013. improves the handling of the corner cases where 1 or more norm parameters are set to zero during a fit. Also 12.8.0l released May 10, 2013 - fix for PyXspec bug affecting change is made to the response gain through one Python RModel object ...
