The High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) is the
primary archive for NASA's (and other space agencies') missions studying
electromagnetic radiation from
extremely energetic cosmic 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
archive contains data
obtained by high-energy astronomy missions observing in the
extreme-ultraviolet (EUV), X-ray, and gamma-ray bands, as well as data from
space missions, balloons, and ground-based facilities that have studied the
relic cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation in the sub-mm, mm and
cm bands.
The HEASARC is a member of the NASA Astronomical
Virtual Observatories (NAVO) where we work with other NASA archives to
ensure comprehensive and consistent VO access to NASA mission datasets.
Users may now query the HEASARC's catalogs using VO-enabled services and
specialized tools. This page describes
how to get to the HEASARC VO-enabled
services and provides information on other HEASARC VO activities.

- First eROSITA sky-survey data release (31 Jan 2024)
Today, the German eROSITA consortium released the data
for its share of the first all-sky survey by the soft X-ray imaging
telescope flying aboard the Spectrum-RG (SRG) satellite. With about
900,000 distinct sources, the first eROSITA All-Sky Survey (eRASS1)
has yielded the largest X-ray catalogue ever published. Along with the
data, the consortium released today a series of scientific papers. See

- Update on Patching the NICER Light Leak (25 Jan 2024)
On January 9, 2024, the NICER team received approval from the ISS program to proceed with a light-leak repair effort via either the ISS r
obotic system (EVR) or ISS astronauts during a spacewalk (EVA). The choice of EVR vs. EVA is expected to be made by the end of February. See the NICER Light-leak Update for more information.
- NuSTAR Caldb Update (18 Jan 2024)
