The High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) is the
primary archive for NASA's (and other space agencies') missions studying
electromagnetic radiation from
extremely energetic cosmic phenomena ranging from
black holes to the Big Bang. Since its
merger with the Legacy Archive for Microwave Background Data Analysis
(LAMBDA) in 2008, the HEASARC
archive contains data
obtained by high-energy astronomy missions observing in the
extreme-ultraviolet (EUV), X-ray, and gamma-ray bands, as well as data from
space missions, balloons, and ground-based facilities that have studied the
relic cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation in the sub-mm, mm and
cm bands.
The HEASARC is a member of the NASA Astronomical
Virtual Observatories (NAVO) where we work with other NASA archives to
ensure comprehensive and consistent VO access to NASA mission datasets.
Users may now query the HEASARC's catalogs using VO-enabled services and
specialized tools. This page describes
how to get to the HEASARC VO-enabled
services and provides information on other HEASARC VO activities.

- XMMSLEWFUL- XMM-Newton Slew Survey Full Source Catalog, v3.0
(XMMSL3) and XMMSLEWCLN- XMM-Newton Slew Survey Clean Source Catalog, v3.0 Released (19 Feb 2025)
The XMM slew catalog (
XMMSLEWFUL) and associated catalog of clean sources (
XMMSLEWCLN) offer the third catalog of X-ray sources found
in slew data from 3,120 observations made between
2000 August 26 and 2023 August 11. The full catalog contains 68,383 more detections (for a
total of 140,735 detections); the "clean" sample of sources
contains 46,110 sources. Both are
now available in both Browse
and Xamin.

- NICER Patching Assessment after Spacewalk 91 (24 Jan 2025)
Verification observations of the installation of 9 patches during U.S. Spacewalk 91 show that the detectors behind the patched optics are receiving lower levels of optical light during orbit night, and the level of light inside the instrument during orbit day is substantially reduced. Some continued data degradation due to sunlight during orbit day is, however, still evident. NICER continues to operate with its full measurement capabilities during orbit night, and assessment of daytime data recovery is ongoing.
