HEASARC Bibliography
The HEASARC Bibliography: Navigation and Summary

We have compiled a database of bibliographic metadata created from publications which present high energy and CMB data from missions archived in the HEASARC. Clicking on a mission name in the navigation panel or in the Mission Bibliography column will take you to the entire list of publications for that mission. Clicking on any publication total will take you to a current list of science articles or preprints. Clicking on "Main" or "Help" in the navigation panel takes you to this page or the help page respectively.

The missions currently taking data are in bold under the Mission Bibliography column, and the CMB missions are in grey. The post-1990 table includes links between science papers and observations when possible, while the pre-1990 table includes no such links as of yet. The total counts for the papers and citations are adjusted to count each paper only once, taking into account the many multi-mission papers in the bibliography. The help file explains much more.
