The HEASARC On-line Services Tom McGlynn Tom McGlynn
Summary • On-line services overview • New capabilities • Browse and the archive • Browse demo Tom McGlynn
Web Services: Information tools • nH: Galactic hydrogen column • X-ray background: ‘Diffuse’ X-ray background • Source finder: Is this a known HEA source? • Timeline: What did satellites actually do? Tom McGlynn
Web Services: Proposal Tools • RPS: Multi-mission proposal software • INTEGRAL, RXTE, Suzaku, XMM • Viewing: Who can see where when (Demo) • Chandra, HST, Suzaku, RXTE, Swift, XMM • WebSpec: Simulate observed spectra • ASCA, BeppoSAX, Chandra, Con-X, ROSAT, RXTE, Sazuku, Swift, XMM • WebPIMMS: Convert counts • ASCA, BeppoSAX, CGRO, Chandra, Con-X, Einstein, INTEGRAL, ROSAT, RXTE, Sazuku, Swift, XEUS, XMM Tom McGlynn
Web Services: Utilities • Target/position converters: Find positions of named targets, convert coordinates. • Data/Time converter: Convert among time representations and systems. (Demo) • Energy converters: Unit conversion • FITS validator: Run FVerify on uploaded data Tom McGlynn
Web Services: Miscellaneous • AKBAR: Allow users to update tables (used within RPS and for Swift GRB updates) • Argus: Follow observations through proposal/observation cycle. • XTE Weather Map: What is active in the sky? (Demo) • Software download utilities: Find the software tools for your analysis needs. • SkyMorph: Look for moving targets in data. • Hera, SkyView and VO services discussed later. Tom McGlynn
What’s new • AKBAR • Argus revised • Now a specialized interface to Browse • Coordinate list converter • Combined date and time converters • More missions and such in many tools • Revamped RPS • GRB name resolver (in development) Tom McGlynn
Browse • Primary interface to HEASARC catalogs and archive. • Multiple interfaces with varying complexity and power. Tom McGlynn

Tabbed Output • Breaks down Browse output into manageable chunks. • Different functions available on different tabs • Missions and tables conveniently organized • Shopping cart paradigm for data product retrieval • Users select products associated with each table, then go to retrieval form. • Still under development, suggestions very welcome! Tom McGlynn
Keyword Search Interface • Google-esque style search: Users enter text describing what they want and Browse tries to find it. • Distinguishes times, positions, formats, table selection keywords automatically. • Supports search by position, time or any parameter. • Allows selection of tables by name, mission, regime, ... • Tables selected by matching keywords. • Uses JavaScript and AJAX to give users feedback as they are entering information. Tom McGlynn
Possible next steps • User defined samples • Correlations with large external catalogs (e.g., SDSS, Galex) • Probably using VO protocols • Automated notifications for new observations • VO access to HEASARC images and spectra • ... Tom McGlynn
