Papers Published in the Main US Astronomical Journals Which
Refer to HEASARC Software Resources, by Year
The following bibliography summaries are for refereed papers published
in the ApJ, ApJL, ApJS, AJ, and PASP which have cited HEASARC software
resources. These papers have been gathered by doing a full text search of
the ApJ for the terms
"ftools, skyview, or xspec", referring to 3 of the HEASARC's more popular
software packages.
We compare the numbers of these papers to the total number of non-solar
X-ray or Gamma-ray papers in these same journals, as determined by searching
the University
of Chicago Press Journal Search Interface for papers which include the
words "x-ray" or "gamma-ray" in their keywords, excluding papers having "sun"
or "solar" in their keywords.
This is not a meant as a comprehensive list of all published papers that
have used HEASARC resources (for example many papers based on high-energy
observations have used other HEASARC software such as PIMMS, RPS (proposal
tools), CFITSIO, XIMAGE, etc.), and likely underestimates the HEASARC' true
impact. Thus, this list gives a conservative estimate of the impact of the
HEASARC on non-solar X-ray and Gamma-Ray astrophysics.

All Refereed Papers Which Refer to HEASARC-Supported Missions, by Year
The table below gives publications for HEASARC-supported missions by year in
the 15-year interval 2007-1993. The search was done using the Smithsonian/NASA
Astrophysics Data
System (ADS) to search for
references to the mission name in the abstract of all refereed
publications.
Clicking on the number will display a list of papers for that mission, for
that year.
