Maximizing the scientific accessibility & productivity of astronomical data.

The Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes is an astronomical data archive focused on the optical, ultraviolet, and near-infrared. MAST hosts data from over a dozen missions like Webb, Hubble, TESS, Kepler, and in the future Roman.

New HLSP: TESS-EBs (Prša et al. 2022) is a catalog of ephemerides and light curve properties for eclipsing binary stars found in #TESS data. The first release contains about 4580 eclipsing binaries from TESS light curve files in Sectors 1-26. archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/tess-ebs

New HLSP: RSLSS (Pierel et al. 2021) includes 2.4 million simulated supernova (SN) light curves and mock catalogs of resolved lensing systems in anticipation of Roman surveys. Uses four survey strategies to project constraints on cosmological parameters. archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/rslss

HLSP Update: ULLYSES - a @NASAHubble Director's Discretionary program to construct an ultraviolet spectroscopic library of low- and high-mass stars. DR5 adds 75 new targets and updates 250 previous targets. The code is also released as open source! archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/ullyses

High-level science products for 325 #ULLYSES targets are now available! Check out new spectroscopic time-series products, including recently completed TW Hydra monitoring and new u’ photometry. All previously released data are also updated: bit.ly/3xI1Hbl

HLSP Update: TICA, calibrated quick-look #TESS images from Sector 50, Orbit 1, now available at MAST. archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/tica

HLSP Update: QLP (Huang et al.) calibrated #TESS light curves from Sector 39 now available at MAST. A total of 2,619,851 light curves are in this release. Sector 39 completes Year 3 of data for the QLP collection. archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/qlp

HLSP Update: QLP (Huang et al.) calibrated #TESS light curves from Sector 38 now available at MAST. A total of 2,017,423 light curves are in this release. archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/qlp

HLSP Update: TICA - calibrated, quick-look full frame images from #TESS of Sector 49, Orbit 2, now available. archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/tica

Mission Update: #TESS Sector 47 ingest has begun. Watch this page for updates as ingest proceeds over the next week. outerspace.stsci.edu/display/TESS/T…

New HLSP: PHANGS-CAT, cluster and association catalogs from 5 of the 38 PHANGS-HST (@janiceleeastro et al.) galaxies. Both human- and machine-learning-based techniques are used. Associations are defined using three length scales. More catalogs are coming! archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/phangs-cat

Mission Update: A bit of a delayed announcement on Twitter, but #TESS Sector 46 ingest completed Feb. 2nd. All services have been updated with that Sector’s data.

HLSP Update: TICA Sector 47, Orbit 2 now available at MAST. Calibrated, quick-look #TESS full frame images. archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/tica
