- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The ASCAMASTER table contains data on all ASCA observations that were ever in any of the following states: 'Accepted', 'Scheduled Long-Term', 'Scheduled Short-Term', 'Processed', and 'Archived'. The final status of an observation is given by the parameter Status. Specific dates that affect the status of an observation are listed as the parameters scheduled_date, observed_date, processed_date, archived_date, and cycle. Notice that, if one or more of the date parameters are empty for a given observation, this means that that those particular processes have not occurred: e.g., if observed_date is empty, this means that the planned observation was not observed.

- ASCA SIS Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- ASCASIS
- Date:
- 03 May 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This preliminary ASCA SIS Source Catalog contains a list of point sources detected by the Solid-state Imaging Spectrometers (SIS) on-board the ASCA Observatory. This catalog was generated by searching for point-like sources in all data available from the HEASARC's ASCA public archive (ASCAPUBLIC) as of 24 Oct 1996; and is populated by both target and serendipitous sources in the SIS field-of-view. For each catalogued source various information is available, which includes the celestial coordinates of the source, the count rate, the significance of detection, and the hardness ratio, total aperture counts, exposure time, and start time of the observation. In addition, a set of three GIF "thumbnail" images is available in the broad (0.5 - 12 keV), soft (2 < keV), and hard (> 2 keV) spectral bands centered on the apparent detection. These images are convenient for accessing the quality of the source detection. The current catalog is preliminary, the goal of the catalog authors being to make the SIS source list available as quickly as possible. To accomplish this, they took an incremental approach and placed their "work in progress" on-line, warts and all. They urge caution in using and citing these preliminary results, as they point out that the information is not, as yet, 100% reliable. This catalog was generated in January 1997 by Drs. Eric Gotthelf and Nicholas White and resulted from their search for point-like sources in all of the then-available SIS data files in the HEASARC's Public ASCA Data Archive as of 24 Oct 1996. The catalog is populated with both targeted and serendipitous sources that were present in the SIS field-of-view. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Description:
- This database table contains all of the observations made by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO, formerly known as the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility or AXAF) as part of the Performance Verification and Calibration (PVC) phase and also contains all of the subsequent Cycles' Guaranteed Time Observers (GTO) and General Observer (GO) targets, and any Director's Discretionary Time (DDT) targets that have been observed. It also includes scheduled and as-yet-not-scheduled targets. The HEASARC updates this database table on a twice-weekly basis by querying the database table at the Chandra X-Ray Center (CXC) website, as discussed in the Provenance section. For observations whose status is 'archived', data products can be retrieved from the HEASARC's mirror of the CXC's Chandra Data Archive (CDA). The CXC should be acknowledged as the source of Chandra data. The PVC phase was during the first few months of the CXO mission; some of the calibration observations that are for monitoring purposes will be performed in later mission cycles. All calibration data (entries with Type = CAL in this database) are placed immediately into the CXO public data archive at the Chandra X-Ray Observatory Center (CXC); please see the Web page at <a href="http://asc.harvard.edu/">http://asc.harvard.edu/</a> for more information on the CXC data archive). GTO observations during Cycle 1 or any subsequent Cycle will probably occupy 100% of months 3-4, 30% of months 5-22, and 15% of the available time for the remainder of the mission. Guaranteed Time Observers will have the same proprietary data rights as General Observers (i.e., their data will be placed in the public CXC archive 12 months after they have received the data in usable form). For detailed information on the Chandra Observatory and datasets see: <pre> <a href="http://cxc.harvard.edu/">http://cxc.harvard.edu/</a> for general Chandra information <a href="http://cxc.harvard.edu/cda/">http://cxc.harvard.edu/cda/</a> for the Chandra Data Archive <a href="http://cxc.harvard.edu/cal/">http://cxc.harvard.edu/cal/</a> for calibration information <a href="http://cxc.harvard.edu/caldb/">http://cxc.harvard.edu/caldb/</a> for the calibration database <a href="http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/">http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/</a> for data analysis <a href="http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/download/">http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/download/</a> for analysis software <a href="http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/threads/">http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/threads/</a> for analysis threads <a href="http://cda.harvard.edu/chaser/">http://cda.harvard.edu/chaser/</a> for WebChaSeR </pre> The HEASARC updates this database table on a twice-weekly basis based on information obtained from the Chandra Data Archive at the CXC website.

- NuSTAR Master Catalog
- Short Name:

- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) mission, launched on 2012 June 13, is the first focusing high-energy X-ray telescope in orbit. NuSTAR operates in the band from 3 to 79 keV, extending the sensitivity of focusing instruments far beyond the ~10 keV high-energy cutoff achieved by all previous X-ray satellites. The inherently low background associated with concentrating the X-ray light enables NuSTAR to probe the hard X-ray sky with a more than 100-fold improvement in sensitivity over the collimated or coded mask instruments that have operated in this bandpass. The observatory was placed into a 600-km altitude, 6 degree inclination circular orbit, and consists of two co-aligned grazing-incidence X-ray telescopes pointed at celestial targets by a three-axis stabilized spacecraft. NuSTAR has completed its two-year primary science mission, and, with an expected orbit lifetime of more than 10 years, the opportunity for proposing observations as part of the General Observer (GO) program is now available, with observations beginning in 2015. Using its unprecedented combination of sensitivity and spatial and spectral resolution, NuSTAR offers opportunities for a broad range of science investigations, ranging from probing cosmic ray origins to studying the extreme physics around compact objects to mapping micro-flares on the surface of the Sun. NuSTAR also responds to targets of opportunity including supernovae and gamma-ray bursts. This table contains a list of (a) unobserved targets that are planned or have been accepted for observation by NuSTAR in the future and (b) NuSTAR observations which have been processed and successfully validated by the NuSTAR Science Operation Center. The data from these observations may or may not be public and the user should check the value of the public_date parameter to determine the status of a specified data set. Only those ObsIDs which have a public_date in the past will have data publicly available. Observations with a public_date parameter value which is either blank or a date in the future have been ingested into the HEASARC archive but will remain encrypted until their public date. Entries with the status field set to 'accepted' are targets approved for scheduling, and the planned exposure time given in the exposure_a (and exposure_b) parameter will have a negative value for those targets. This database table is based on information supplied by the NuSTAR Project at Caltech. It is automatically updated on a regular basis. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Description:
- This database table contains the list German ROSAT All-Sky Survey observations which were obtained during the ROSAT All-Sky Survey phase (1990 July 30 to 1991 Jan 25) and which have become available to the public. These data were obtained in scanning mode and therefore an individual dataset covers a much larger area of the sky than do pointed moded observations. In addition all these data were obtained with PSPC-C, while all pointed mode observations after the end of the All-Sky Survey were obtained with PSPC-B. For each observation listed in this database table, the instrument used, processing site, and coordinates of the field center are given, as well as the ROSAT observation request number (ROR), actual exposure time, date the observation took place, and more. For details about the ROSAT instruments, consult the ROSAT Mission Description (NASA Research Announcement for ROSAT, Appendix F and its addendum) and the ROSAT GSFC GOF website at <a href="http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/rosgof.html">http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/rosgof.html</a> for more information.

- Description:
- This database table contains the list of all Röntgen Satellite (ROSAT) X-Ray Telescope (XRT) pointing-mode observations for which data sets are available, i.e., it excludes the ROSAT All-Sky Survey observations. Users should consult the RASSMASTER database table for those XRT observations which were made in scanning mode during the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) phase (30 July 1990 to 25 January 1991, and 3 August 1991 to 13 August 1991). For each observation listed in this table, parameters such as the focal-plane instrument used, the data processing site, and the target name and coordinates are given, as well as the ROSAT Observation Request (ROR) number, the actual and requested exposure times, the date(s) on which the observation took place, etc. For details about the ROSAT instruments, consult the ROSAT Guest Observer Facility (GOF) website at <a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/">https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/</a>. A list of the available online ROSAT documentation can be found at <a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/rosdocs.html">https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/rosdocs.html</a>. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2004 by combining the data from two long-standing HEASARC Browse tables into one master table. It was updated by the HEASARC in March 2022 to add start and end times for the 157 sequence IDs which did not already have start and end times. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- ROSAT Complete Results Archive Sources for the HRI
- Short Name:
- ROSAT/HRI
- Date:
- 03 May 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The ROSHRITOTAL data table contains a list of sources detected by the Standard Analysis Software System (SASS) in reprocessed, public HRI datasets. In addition to the parameters returned by SASS (like position, count rate, signal-to-noise, etc.) each source in the table has associated with it a set of source and sequence "flags." These flags are provided by the ROSAT data centers in the US, Germany and the UK to help the user of the ROSHRITOTAL database table quickly judge the reliability of a given source. The ROSHRITOTAL database table is a superset of the ROSHRI database table. The ROSHRI table excludes sources that meet the following parameter criteria: false_det = 'T' or deferred = 'T' or not_checked = 'T' or un_unique ='T'. See the documentation below for descriptions of these parameters. These data have been screened by ROSAT data centers in the US, Germany, and the UK as a step in the production of the ROSAT Results Archive. The RRA contains extracted source and associated products with an indication of reliability for the primary parameters. This database table was last updated in August 2001. More information about the ROSAT Results Archive for HRI sources can be obtained at the following web pages: <pre> <a href="http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/rra/RRA.html">http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/rra/RRA.html</a> <a href="http://hea-www.harvard.edu/rosat/rra.html">http://hea-www.harvard.edu/rosat/rra.html</a> <a href="http://www.aip.de/groups/xray/rosat/rra.html">http://www.aip.de/groups/xray/rosat/rra.html</a> <a href="http://ledas-www.star.le.ac.uk/rra">http://ledas-www.star.le.ac.uk/rra</a> </pre> This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The ROSPSPC database table contains a list of sources detected by the Standard Analysis Software System (SASS) in public, unfiltered, pointed PSPC datasets. In addition to the parameters returned by SASS (like position, count rate, likelihood, etc.) each source in the table has associated with it a set of source and sequence "flags." These flags are provided by the ROSAT data centers in the US, Germany and the UK to help the user of the ROSPSPC database table quickly judge the reliability of a given source. The ROSPSPC table excludes sources that meet the following parameter criteria: false_det = 'T' or deferred = 'T' or not_checked = 'T'. See the documentation below for descriptions of these parameters. The catalog consists of all primary source parameters from the automated detection algorithm employed by the SASS. In addition each observation has been quality checked, both by automatic algorithms and by detailed visual inspection. The results of this quality checking are contained as a set of logical-value flags for a set of principal source parameters. If a source parameter is suspect, the associated flag is set to "TRUE"; parameters with no obvious problems maintain the default, "FALSE", value. This database table was last updated in August 2001.
