Astrophysics Data Centers
- High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC)
-
The High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) is the primary archive for high-energy astronomy missions, in the extreme ultraviolet, X-ray and gamma-ray wavelengths. This is the portal for the Chandra X-Ray Observatory archive.
- Legacy Archive for Microwave Background Data Analysis (LAMBDA)
-
NASA's data center for Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) research provides CMB researchers with archive data from NASA missions, software tools, and links to other sites of interest.
- Multimission Archive at STScI (MAST)
-
The Multimission Archive at STScI is a NASA funded project to support and provide to the astronomical community a variety of astronomical data archives, with the primary focus on scientifically related data sets in the optical, ultraviolet, and near-infrared parts of the spectrum.
- NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED)
-
NED is a master list of extragalactic objects for which cross-identifications of names have been established, accurate positions and redshifts, and some basic data collected.
- NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive (IRSA)
-
NASA's archive of Infrared and Submillimeter data; host site for NASA Extragalactic Database (NED), and the legacy site of the Spitzer Space Observatory.
- NASA Star and Exoplanet Database (NStED)
-
NStED is the NASA/IPAC/MSC Star and Exoplanet Database and is a general purpose stellar and exoplanet archive to support NASA's planet finding and characterization activities.
- Set of Identifications, Measurements, and Bibliography for Astronomical Data (SIMBAD)
-
Resource for basic data, cross-identifications, observational measurements, and bibliography, for celestial objects outside the solar system: stars, galaxies, and nonstellar objects within our galaxy, or in external galaxies.
- Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)
-
The Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is a NASA-funded project which maintains three bibliographic databases containing more than 5.6 million records. It is an online archive of astronomical, astrophysical and physics literature.
