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.

  • The Million Quasars Catalog (14 Dec 2021)
    The latest version (v7.4, 12 December 2021) of the Million Quasars (MILLIQUAS) Catalog (Eric Flesch 2009 - 2017) containing a lot more than one million (1,115,590 to be exact) likely quasars is now available in both Browse and Xamin.
  • Fermi LAT Lightcurve Repository Now Available (14 Dec 2021)
    The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) Collaboration is pleased to announce a new database of multi-cadence light curves for over 1500 variable gamma-ray sources in the 10-year Fermi LAT point source catalog (4FGL-DR2, Ballet et al. 2020). The new Light Curve Repository (LCR) contains flux calibrated light curves on 3 day, 1 week, and 1 month timescales covering the entire Fermi mission duration, consisting of over 3.7 million individual time bins. The LCR will be continually updated as new data becomes available
  • NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) Mission Has Launched Successfully! (10 Dec 2021)
    The IXPE observatory is NASA's first mission dedicated to measuring the polarization of X-rays from the most extreme and mysterious objects in the universe - supernova remnants, supermassive black holes, and dozens of other high-energy objects. IXPE launched successfully at 1AM on Dec 9, on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The HEASARC will archive IXPE products and catalogs.
  • XMMAO (XMM-Newton Accepted Targets) Table (10 Dec 2021)
    The latest version of the table of accepted XMM-Newton targets, updated to include AO-21 results, is now available in Browse and Xamin.
