Web-based Tools
These Web-based tools are designed to assist
scientists in their proposal and general data analysis efforts. The
HEASARC provides these tools as a service to the scientific community.
FTOOLS, a general
FITS file utility programs and
mission-specific data analysis tools can be found on the
Software page.
General Tools
Bibliography - Bibliographic references to HEASARC services and missions
Coordinate Converter - CoCo: Object location and coordinate
converter
Energy Converter - Energy/frequency/wavelength converter
FITS file verifier - Run fverify on any of your own FITS files
nH Column Density - Determine neutral Hydrogen column density by target coordinates
Time/Date Converter (xTime) - Convert between Julian date formats
and standard date formats such as YYYY-MM-DD
X-Ray Background - Calculate average X-ray background count
rates from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey diffuse background maps
X-Ray, Gamma-Ray, and EUV Source Finder: Is my favorite object a high-energy source?
Multi-Mission Tools
Hera - Astronomical Data Analysis over the Internet
RPS - Remote Proposal System
Time/Date Converter (xTime) - Convert Fermi, RXTE, Suzaku, Swift
and XMM-Newton times to other time systems and formats, and vice versa
Timeline Tool - Swift, RXTE and HETE-2 observation (as-flown)
timelines
