HEASARC's web sites were down from Saturday Oct 24 - Weds Oct 28 due to addressing the PHP security vulnerability issue.
HEASARC
NASA's designated multi-mission astronomy archive for cosmic astronomy datasets for observations in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV), X-ray, and gamma-ray wave bands, as well as for cosmic microwave background (CMB) datasets.LAMBDA
LAMBDA is a multi-mission NASA center of expertise for cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation research; it provides CMB researchers with archive data from cosmology missions, software tools, and links to other sites of interest.Please wait for the query to run.

Archive
Data discovery and exploration can be done through the interactive Web Portal
(The classic Browse portal remains available.)
API access is available through the Xamin API, the astroquery Heasarc module, or the Virtual Observatory protocols using pyvo. -
Cloud & Platforms
HEASARC@SciServer is an analysis-ready platform where both data and software are available through the browser.
The HEASARC is also part of the NASA Fornax Initiative to build NASA's next generation cloud-based science platform.
HEASARC data are available in the cloud and on SciServer. -
Software
- HEASoft 6.37.0 is now available.
- HEASoft and XSPEC are available as conda packages.
- HEASoft and other high energy software (CAIO, XMM-SAS, Fermitools, Spex etc) are installed and available on SciServer.
