Web-Based Tools

These Web-based tools are designed to assist scientists in their proposal and general data analysis efforts. The HEASARC provides these tools as a service to the scientific community. (HEASoft/FTOOLS, a general library of FITS file utility programs and mission-specific data analysis tools can be found on our Software page.)

• Skyview

  

  A powerful tool to visualize the sky with the largest collection of multiwavelength sky maps from the radio to the gamma-ray. This tool includes options for rebinning, interpolation, overplots, contours, etc.
