A new High-Level Science Product provides catalogs of unique sources in both near and far UV from the GALEX mission, along with cross-matches to SDSS DR14 and Gaia DR2 catalogs.
This Fall, MAST sites and services will begin handling requests using HTTPS protocol exclusively. Users can begin updating their own bookmarks, links, and scripts now in preparation for the coming transition.
New High-Level Science Products include a collection studying the lifetime exposure of exoplanets to stellar radiation using data from GALEX and HST, as well as a set of computed SEDs for white dwarf atmospheres using NLTE code across a range of stellar parameters. Updates are available for the HLF GOOD-S photometric catalog, and a new galaxy cluster added to the RELICS collection.
Now accepting applications for two data science positions at STScI. Come join the team!
Newly-reprocessed data from the TESS mission will be released through various MAST services, starting later this month. This will begin with northern hemisphere sector data, with more to follow.
MAST is proud to host a new collection of HST images of compact dwarf galaxy NGC 5253 in various wavelengths with improved astrometry, as well as more than three hundred thousand new processed TESS light curves added to two different existing collections.
Many data products for Hubble's WFCJ and ACS instruments have improved header WCS information based on Gaia catalog positions. A new Jupyter notebook is also available for assistance using and evaluating the new astrometry .
The second data release for the Wide Field Coverage for Juno collection includes HST and Gemini North observations of Jupiter covering additional satellite approaches between 2016 and 2019.
MAST services remain available, as usual, thanks to the remote efforts of STScI personnel.
The WOW team have released science-ready FITS files associated with the 27th, 29th, and the 30th HST anniversary images.
User support and news updates for the Kepler and K2 missions have transitioned to the NASA Astrophysics archives that host this data — the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST) and the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute (NExScI).
An initial release of the z.MAST Portal enables searching of the GOODS and CANDELS Hubble datasets through parameters focused on galaxy evolution. This new entry point is designed to enhance access, increase discoverability, enable visualization of related data, and aid in HST and JWST observation planning. Feedback is welcome as more features and datasets are added in the future.
A number of MAST staff will soon be attending the 2020 Winter AAS Meeting in Honolulu, participating in a number of workshops, demos, posters, and other sessions. Come visit us at booth #213!
New High-Level Science Products include a collection of postcards and software to extract TESS FFI-based light curves for individual targets, and UV photometry for a selection of open clusters. Updates include new TESS light curves for open cluster members from Sectors 8-11, new HST global maps of Uranus, and new CALSPEC reference files and galaxy SED templates.
Hubble imaging data from the WFC3 and ACS instruments are now receiving updated astrometric information by applying corrections from both the Hubble Guide Star Catalog and Gaia Data Release 2.
