First Release of the PHANGS-HST Collection Now Available

MAST and the PHANGS-HST team are happy to announce the first release of high-level data products including multi-wavelength imaging and visualization tools for 29 spiral galaxy disks. This collection will be a multi-phase, multi-scale study of star formation across the nearby spiral galaxy population down to stellar clusters and associations, giant molecular clouds, and HII regions.

MAST at the Winter 2021 AAS Meeting

Many MAST staff will be attending the 237th meeting of the American Astronomical Society this week providing talks, demos, and opportunities to chat about MAST services and data. This is a good chance to provide feedback, get some personalized assistance, and learn more about what MAST currently offers and will offer in the future.

HAP Single Visit Mosaics Now Available

MAST has begun production of new products in the HST data calibration pipeline: Hubble Legacy Archive (HLA)-style mosaics and catalogs comprised of the data from a single HST visit, which are aligned to a common astrometric reference frame. These are the first of two types of Hubble Advanced Products (HAP) that will be produced in the HST data pipeline and made available the MAST Discovery Portal.

Kepler/K2 Notebook Tutorial Collection

A team of scientists working with the Astropy Project and NumFocus have developed a collection of Jupyter notebook tutorials that show how to retrieve and analyze the time series data collected from the Kepler and K2 missions. These new tutorials cover a wide variety of topics basic processing to more specific science cases such as calculating stellar mass, and measuring rotation speed.

TESS Extended Mission

On July 5, 2020, the two-year TESS Prime Mission came to a close, and the TESS Extended Mission began. Over the next 27 months, TESS will conduct additional observations of the celestial sphere intended to enhance the scientific output of the mission. The Extended Mission will include updates to the data collection modes and the methods of target selection, and observations of the ecliptic plane.
