We have a new HLSP, Terry Hubble Observations of Roman (THOR), available. THOR's early-release catalog includes high angular resolution imaging of 8 fields in the Galactic bulge with HST, which will greatly strengthen Roman's ability to characterize detected exoplanet systems. There are also updates for JWSTSTARS, QLP, and TESS-SPOC.
Join us for our final summer webinar! Read on for the topic, sign up information, and how to view the whole series.
MAST has updated our mission acknowledgement and data attribution pages. Be sure to use the updated acknowledgements in your published works.
Calling all users of the Fornax platform: NASA wants your feedback.
Join us for a series of summer webinars! Read on for topics and sign up information.
We have a new TESS-based HLSP: the TESS All-Sky Rotation Survey (TARS) is now available! TARS provides light curves and periodograms for 7.5 million unique target stars. There are also updates to TESS-SPOC, Scylla, and PHANGS-CAT.
Your favorite archivists will be at AAS 248 in Pasadena. We'll also be hosting a series of summer webinars on querying for MAST data. Read on for more details!
MAST has transitioned to a new subscriptions service. If you have existing subscriptions, these will be migrated seamlessly to the new system.
MAST has two new HST-based HLSPs this month. HST-Hyperion is a collection of redshift/emission-line catalogs, images, and spectra of over 12,000 galaxies within the proto-supercluster Hyperion. Also new this month is SKYSURF, the largest ever archival HST project that probes extragalactic background light at an unprecendented scale. We also have two regularly scheduled updates to our TESS HLSPs.
NASA's Fornax initiative is now in an open beta phase. Analyze HEASARC, IRSA, and MAST data in the cloud.
MAST has two new HLSPs this month: a set of HST observations that examine the structure of gas and dust in NGC 5044, and a combined GALEX/SDSS catalog of hot white-dwarfs and sub-dwarfs. We also had updates from OPAL, QLP, and REFERENCE-ATLASES.
We're pleased to present the agenda for the 2026 MAST Summer Webinar. We have three great sessions planned, read on to learn more and register!
Good news for TESS fans: there are three new TESS-based HLSPs in MAST this month! We also have updates to the JWST-based SMILES dataset and two other TESS-based HLSPs.
The MAST Users Group meets annually with MAST Staff to discuss our priorities and ensure they are aligned with user needs. Their 2025 report is now available for review.
A quiet month at MAST! There were updates to two of our TESS-based HLSPs.
