HEASARC Biblographic Code (Bibcode) Status

The HEASARC and a number of the mission GOFs and SSCs have cross-referenced the data sets held in our archive with the peer-reviewed publication data from the ADS. On the ADS results pages, you can find the corresponding reverse links (designated by the letter D) to the appropriate datasets in the data archives (i.e. HEASARC, MAST, etc.). These links take the user directly to a page displaying the data sets used in the publication of that paper. Unfortunately, due to lack of resources, not all missions have been able to perform this type of linking.

Below is the current status of this task in regards to the missions for which the HEASARC has the bibcode to datset linking information (ASCA, BeppoSAX, CGRO, EUVE, FUSE, HaloSat, Hitomi, INTEGRAL, IXPE, NICER, NuSTAR, ROSAT, RXTE, SRG, Suzaku, Swift, XMM-Newton and XRISM)

N.B.: This process is being conducted on a best effort basis by the HEASARC and the projects. While we believe that the vast majority of these cross-references are correct, there are many sources of confusion and error, especially in some of the larger surveys and review papers.
