- Description:
- This table contains the IRAM NOEMA (NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array) observation log. The Institut de Radio Astronomie Millimetrique (IRAM) was founded in 1979 and is operated as a French-German-Spanish collaboration. Its partner institutes are the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France), the MPG (Max Planck Gesellschaft, Germany), and the IGN (Instituto Geografico Nacional, Spain). The principal activity of IRAM is the study of cold matter (molecular gas and dust) in the solar system, in our Galaxy, and out to cosmological distances, in order to determine its composition, density, mass, temperature, and kinematics. IRAM operates two observatories at millimeter wavelengths which are open to the international astronomical community: the 30-m single-dish telescope on Pico Veleta (2850 m), Spain, and the six-antenna interferometer on the Plateau de Bure (2550 m) in France. Both sites are at high altitude to reduce the absorption by water vapor. The observatories are supported by the IRAM offices and laboratories in Granada and Grenoble. The observation log included here concerns NOEMA, the NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array, and summarizes the observations made there. NOEMA is the successor to the Plateau de Bure observatory. During its history, the observatory at the Plateau de Bure underwent several track extensions, received additional antennas (all of 15-m diameter and of similar construction to the first ones) and technical upgrades. From a three-antenna interferometer with a maximum baseline of 288 meters in 1988, it has evolved to a eight-antenna array with baselines up to 760 meters in 2016. With the inauguration of the seventh antenna in September, 2014, the observatory started its transformation into NOEMA. More information about NOEMA is <a href="http://www.iram.fr/IRAMFR/GILDAS/doc/html/noema-intro-html/noema-intro.html">available at the IRAM web site</a>. The observation log for the 30-m telescope is available as the HEASARC database table <a href="/W3Browse/ground-based/iram30mlog.html">IRAM30MLOG</a>, and the observation log for the Plateau de Bure Interferometer is available as the HEASARC database table <a href="/W3Browse/ground-based/irampdblog.html">IRAMPDBLOG</a>. For more information on IRAM, see <a href="http://www.iram-institute.org/">the IRAM home page</a>. This table was originally ingested by the HEASARC in August 2017.

- Description:
- Launched in late 2021, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a NASA Small Explorer Mission in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The mission measures X-ray polarization from compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes, which serve as laboratories for exploring extreme gravitational and magnetic fields. With its imaging capabilities, IXPE will also map the magnetic-field structure of a few extended sources such as supernova remnants and pulsar wind nebulae. This table contains a list of (a) unobserved targets that are planned for observation by IXPE in the future and (b) IXPE observations which have been processed and successfully validated by the IXPE team. 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. This contents of this database table are generated by the IXPE Team and updated regularly with new observations. These updates are then delivered to the HEASARC and ingested into the HEASARC database in a timely fashion. Note that some parameters have been added and are populated by the HEASARC.

- Description:
- This table provides an index for a time ordered set of files containing the telemetry from the the DRS system on the LISA Pathfinder mission. It gives the time in a variety of spacecraft modes for each file. Note that not all modes were explored during the LISA Pathfinder mission. The Disturbance Reduction System (DRS) was an experiment package aboard the European Space Agency (ESA) LISA Pathfinder spacecraft. LISA Pathfinder (LPF) launched from Kourou, French Guiana, on December 3, 2015. LPF successfully demonstrated the disturbance-free motion of two test masses at a noise level acceptable for a future gravitational wave (GW) observatory. Designated ST7, DRS is the NASA contribution to LPF with the goal of operating disturbance reduction technology in space applicable to GW missions and other future missions with challenging stability requirements. DRS flew two clusters of four, low-noise, colloid micro-thrusters (eight total) and a computer which implemented drag-free control laws. At specific times during the LPF mission, DRS operated as alternative to the ESA provided thrusters and control laws. The location of the test masses relative to the spacecraft and the attitude of the spacecraft were measured by ESA subsystems and provided to DRS as its sensors. The displacement and attitude of the spacecraft relative to the two test masses was controlled using the colloid thrusters and electrostatic forces on the TMs provided by the LPF systems. The key requirements for DRS were to show that the thrust noise was less than 0.1 micro-N, and the spacecraft position noise was less than 10nm/sqrt( Hz) in the measurement frequency band of 1 to 30 micro-Hz. ST7 also recorded the relative acceleration noise (delta-g) between the two test masses, a key metric for the GW application, but had no requirement did not optimize the delta-g performance because this is primarily dependent on the (ESA) inertial sensor. ST7 executed a primary mission in which the thrust noise of the thrusters and the performance of the drag free control were measured and a short extended mission which was used to optimize the performance and expand the operating range of the thrusters and control laws. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2018 based on data files provided by Jacob Slutsky and Leonid Petrov, which were reformatted from the base files at the LISA Pathfinder archive at ESA. The reformatted data files are available at <a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/lpf/data/fits/">https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/lpf/data/fits/</a> with summaries of the instrument mode intervals available in summary files in <a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/lpf/data/summ/">https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/lpf/data/summ/</a>.

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table records high-level information for the observations obtained with NICER (Neutron star Interior Composition ExploreR) and provides access to the NICER data archive. NICER is a NASA Explorer program Mission of Opportunity dedicated to the study of the neutron stars, exploring the exotic states of matter where density and pressure are higher than in atomic nuclei. NICER instrument is a payload aboard the International Space Station (ISS). It was launched on 3 June 2017 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and placed on the ISS. Normal operation started on 17 July 2017 after a commission phase to test the system and perform initial calibration. NICER's X-ray Timing Instrument (XTI) consists of an aligned collection of 56 X-ray "concentrator" optics (XRC) and silicon drift detector (SDD) pairs working in the energy range of 0.2-12 keV. Each XRC collects X-rays over a large geometric area from a roughly 30 arcmin<sup>2</sup> region of the sky and focuses them onto a small SDD. The SDD detects individual photons, recording both energies (with a 3% energy resolution at 6 keV) and high precision times (with 100 nanoseconds RMS relative to Universal Time). During one day of operation, NICER monitors several sources. For each observed source the data are divided into intervals of one day and labeled with a sequence number. This database table contains one record for each sequence number and includes parameters related to the observation. This contents of this database table are generated at the NICER Science and Mission Operations Center (SMOC) and updated regularly with new observations. Note that some fields have been added and are populated by the HEASARC. This is a service provided by NASA 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:
- The Orbiting Solar Observatory-I (OSO-8) was launched on 21 June 1975 into a 550 km circular orbit at 33 degrees inclination. Data were obtained from the mission until late September 1978. The spacecraft structure consisted of a rotating cylindrical base section called the "wheel" and a non-spinning upper section called the "sail". While the primary objectives of the mission were solar in nature, there were 3 detectors, the GSFC Cosmic X-ray Spectroscopy experiments (GCXSE detectors A, B, and C), mounted in the rotating wheel which had exclusively non-solar objectives. Their fields-of-view were either aligned to the spin axis or at small angles to it, hence they always view the portion of the sky at right angles to the earth-sun line. This database accesses the pha FITS datafiles for the A, B, and C GCXSE detectors. Data was accumulated every quarter of a rotation period (~2.56 s) for the A detector and every 40.96 s for the B and C detectors in the 2-60 keV energy band.
