The HETE2TL database table records the pointing direction of the HETE-2 boresight camera and the roll angle of the HETE-2 spacecraft at each given time, as determined by the aspect camera/optical sub-system aboard HETE-2. HETE-2 (the High Energy Transient Explorer) is an international mission designed to help unravel the mystery of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). The primary goal of HETE-2 is to determine the origin and nature of cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by simultaneous observation of soft and medium X-rays and gamma-rays to provide precise localization of GRBs and identification of counterparts to these explosions. HETE-2 carries three science instruments: a set of wide-field gamma-ray spectrometers (FREGATE), a wide-field X-ray monitor (WXM, and a set of soft X-ray cameras (SXC) HETE-2 was launched on October 9, 2000, and declared fully operational on February 6, 2001. While this mission was active, this HEASARC database table was updated on a thrice-per-week basis, depending upon updates to the timeline file. The last update that was provided was in August 2006. Some duplicate entries were remove in June 2019. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
The High Speed Photometer (HSP) was one of the four original axial instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The HSP was designed to make very rapid photometric observations of astrophysical sources in a variety of filters and passbands from the near ultraviolet to the visible. The HSP was removed from HST during the First Servicing Mission in December, 1993.
This table records high-level information for the observations obtained with Hitomi and provides access to the data archive. The Hitomi mission was launched on a JAXA H-IIA into low Earth orbit on February 17, 2016, at 5:45 pm JPS from Tanegashima Space Center. Hitomi was equipped with four different instruments that together cover a wide energy range 0.3-600 keV. The Soft X-ray Spectrometer (SXS), which combined a lightweight Soft X-ray Telescope paired with a X-ray Calorimeter Spectrometer, provided non-dispersive 7-eV resolution in the 0.3-10 keV bandpass with a field of view of about 3 arcminutes. The Soft X-ray Imager (SXI) expanded the field of view with a new generation CCD camera in the energy range of 0.5-12 keV at the focus of the second lightweights Soft X-ray Telescope; the Hard X-ray Imager (HXI, two units) performed sensitive imaging spectroscopy in the 5-80 keV band; the non-imaging Soft Gamma-ray Detector (SGD, two units) extended Hitomi's energy band to 600 keV. On March 27, 2016, JAXA lost contact with the satellite and, on April 28, announced the cessation of the efforts to restore mission operations. At that time Hitomi was in check-out phase and had started the calibration observations. Data were collected from six celestial objects (Perseus, N132D, IGR_J16318-4848, RXJ1856.5-3754, G21.5-0.9, and Crab) as well as black sky for a total of about one month of data. The data from these observations were divided into intervals of one day if the observation of a specific pointing was longer that one day. A sequence number was assigned to each observing day and within data from all instruments are included. The day division was mainly to limit the data size within a sequence number. There are in total 42 sequences, and each record in this database table is dedicated to a single sequence. The early observations do not contain data from all instruments and in cases the object was not always placed at the aim point. This database contains parameters to indicate which instrument was on and if the celestial source was in the field of view. The SXS was the first instrument to turn on and therefore all observations contain SXS data, although the thermal equilibrium was reached after March 4 2016. The second instrument was the SXI followed by the HXIs and, finally, the two SGDs. This database table was generated at the Hitomi Science Data Center processing site (Angelini, L., Terada, Y, et al., 2016, SPIE 9905E, 14) with additions to indicate which instrument was on and if the source was in the FOV. It was ingested into the HEASARC database in June 2017. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
The Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT) was a shuttle-borne instrument used to obtain ultraviolet spectra in the far ultraviolet region of the spectrum. It was part of the ASTRO payload complement of three co-mounted instruments that flew in December 1990 and March 1995 as Space Shuttle missions. More than 650 spectra were obtained of 340 targets. In April, 2013, the HUT data was reprocessed to improve calibration, expand metadata, add new data products, and update file formats. The current cone service uses the metadata from these reprocessed files.
This is the HST Planned and Archived Exposures Catalog (PAEC) as obtained from the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) Archive which created the original compilation from their Archive and Proposal databases. This database table provides a summary of all approved HST observations, including already completed observations and those which are planned to be executed as part of the current cycle or are reserved for execution by Guaranteed Time Observer (GTO) programs for the upcoming cycles. This database table provides a summary of both planned and completed HST observations. Much more information can be obtained about each exposure, and the data themselves can be retrieved, using STScI's Multimission Archive (URL is <a href="http://archive.stsci.edu/hst/">http://archive.stsci.edu/hst/</a>) or STScI's Archive Web Interface (URL is <a href="http://archive.stsci.edu/hst/search.php">http://archive.stsci.edu/hst/search.php</a>). Note that a number of solar system and other objects have 0 values for their 2000 equinox RA and declination coordinates in the original HST table and hence also in this HEASARC database. This HEASARC version of the HSTPAEC will be updated on a regular basis, usually within one month of the data files on the STScI Web site (URL <a href="http://archive.stsci.edu/hst/paec.html">http://archive.stsci.edu/hst/paec.html</a>) being updated. This database table is recreated by the HEASARC on a routine basis, usually within one month of the PAEC data files at the STScI Hubble Data Archive (HDA) being modified.

The Hubble Source Catalog (HSC) is designed to optimize science from the Hubble Space Telescope by
combining the tens of thousands of visit-based source lists in the Hubble Legacy Archive (HLA)
into a single master catalog.
The Hubble Source Catalog (HSC) detailed search
displays an entry for each separate detection (or nondetection if nothing is found at that position)
using all the relevant Hubble observations for a given object
(i.e., different filters, detectors, separate visits).
The catalog currently contains over 100 million entries.
The Hubble Source Catalog (HSC) is designed to optimize science from the Hubble Space Telescope
by combining the tens of thousands visit-based source lists in the Hubble Legacy Archive (HLA)
into a single master catalog.
The HSC Summary search displays a single row entry for each object,
as defined by a set of detections that have been cross-matched and hence are believed to be a single object.
Averaged values for magnitudes and other relevant parameters are provided.
The catalog currently contains over 16 million entries.
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is an orbiting astronomical observatory operating from the near-infrared into the ultraviolet. Launched in 1990 and scheduled to operate through 2010, HST carries and has carried a wide variety of instruments producing imaging, spectrographic, astrometric, and photometric data through both pointed and parallel observing programs. MAST is the primary archive and distribution center for HST data, distributing science, calibration, and engineering data to HST users and the astronomical community at large. Over 100 000 observations of more than 20 000 targets are available for retrieval from the Archive.
IceCube has performed several searches for point-like sources of neutrinos. The events contained in this release make up the sample used in IceCube's 10-year time-integrated neutrino point source search [1]. Events in the sample are track-like neutrino candidates detected by IceCube between April 2008 and July 2018. The data contained in this release of IceCube's point source sample shows 3.3 sigma evidence of a cumulative excess of events from a catalog of 110 potential sources, primarily driven by four sources (NGC 1068, TXS 0506+056, PKS 1424+240, and GB6 J1542+6129). NGC 1068 gives the largest excess and appears in spatial coincidence with the hottest spot in the full Northern sky search [1]. IceCube's 10-year neutrino point source event sample includes updated processing for events between April 2012 and May 2015, leading to differences in significances of some sources, including TXS 0506+056. For more information, please refer to [2]. This release contains data beginning in 2008 (IC40) until the spring of 2018 (IC86-VII). In order to standardize the release format of IceCube's point source candidate events, this release duplicates and supplants previously released data from 2012 and earlier. Events from this release cannot be combined with other IceCube public data releases. Please note that this dataset is dominated by background events from atmospheric muons and neutrinos detected by IceCube, with a subdominant astrophysical event contribution. Any spatial or temporal correlations should therefore be carefully evaluated on a statistical basis. See [1] and references therein for details regarding the statistical techniques used by IceCube.
