The Chandra X-ray Observatory is the U.S. follow-on to the Einstein Observatory. Chandra was formerly known as AXAF, the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility, but renamed by NASA in December, 1998. Originally three instruments and a high-resolution mirror carried in one spacecraft, the project was reworked in 1992 and 1993. The Chandra spacecraft carries a high resolution mirror, two imaging detectors, and two sets of transmission gratings. Important Chandra features are: an order of magnitude improvement in spatial resolution, good sensitivity from 0.1 to 10 keV, and the capability for high spectral resolution observations over most of this range.
This catalog includes the CoRoT targets around which the presence of an exoplanet was confirmed and published. It does not include the more numerous planet candidates.
This catalog includes CoRoT targets from the exoplanet channel which were identified as possible red giants and actually presents acoustic oscillations of solar-like type, as published by Hekker et al. (A&A, 2009, vol. 506, p. 465).
All data for the Herschel SPIRE and PACS guaranted time program on Interstellar Medium (SAG-4) and other public data processed at IDOC. All data have been reprocessed at IDOC using advanded reprocessing pipeline.

This database provides access to IDOC catalogues and complementary information on clusters of galaxies observed through the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect.
The high sensitivity and angular resolution of the 2MASS Large Galaxy Atlas (LGA) images allows closer inspection of diverse stellar populations, large-scale structures such as spirals, bulges, warps and bars, star formation regions and evolution of galaxies. This image atlas represents the first uniform, all-sky, view of galaxies as seen in the near-infrared wavelength window that is most sensitive to the dominant mass component of galaxies.
The Astrophysics Data System (ADS) provides access to the astronomical literature. It is funded by NASA and hosted at the Harvard- Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. It consists of two main parts. The abstract service allows you to search the tables of contents and abstracts of essentially the whole astronomical literature. The article service contains the scanned full articles of a large part of the astronomical literature. Access to the ADS is free to anybody world-wide.
