Goddard Space Flight Center FAQ

High-Energy (X-ray and gamma-ray) Astronomy

What high-energy astronomy data are available at the HEASARC?

The HEASARC archives contain data from orbiting high-energy astrophysics 
missions which observe the cosmos in the
EUV, X-ray and gamma-ray bands, in addition to catalogs of sources at other
wavebands (Some exceptions to this are XMM-Newton, Swift and INTEGRAL for
which the HEASARC has datasets from optical/UV instruments onboard these
satellites). The HEASARC also has a large database of tables and catalogs
of many types, e.g., observation logs, object catalogs, surveys, etc.
A listing of these (now over 940) database tables can be found in the Browse area. These tables are
also available in a downloadable ASCII format by visiting our FTP area.
The HEASARC does not contain data from ground-based 
high-energy gamma-ray observatories such 
as the VERITAS and 
HESS arrays of
atmospheric Cerenkov telescopes, nor from balloon or sounding rocket payloads
(with a few exceptions, e.g., the soft X-ray data from 10 University of 
Wisconsin sounding rockets flown in the 1970s are archived here).
Neither does the HEASARC have any cosmic ray datasets: such data are archived
at a variety of other sites, including 
NSSDC and 
SPIDR,
Accounts and Training - GLOBE.gov
Additionally, you must have completed training in GLOBE's protocols before you are allowed to enter data. In order to verify that GLOBE has records of your completed training, and that you are able to enter data,

click on the "Enter Data" button on the right side of the Homepage. On the "Data Entry" page, you will either be able to enter data, or you will see a message that indicates that you are required to complete a training.

On the GLOBE Program's app, GLOBE Observer: 
If you downloaded the app and then completed a GLOBE training afterwards, you must sign out and then sign back in to see the "Enter Data" button.

 

How can I get trained?

Visit the Get Trained page for details on registering and signing up for a workshop. 

 

What if there is no training in my area?

If there is not an available workshop you are able to attend, contact your GLOBE partner(s), Country Coordinator or Regional Coordinator and ask about the schedule for the upcoming months. They may have a workshop in the planning stages, and you can help them with their plans by letting them know you would like to attend. In order to locate contact information, use the Partner and Country Coordinator Search Tool.

You can also browse GLOBE.gov for contact information. For those in the U.S., visit the U.S. homepage and scroll down to the desired state to find Partner information.

For other countries, visit the Country or Region page. On the Country or Region page, click on "Contact Information" for your Country Coordinator's information.

If you still can not find a workshop in your area, consider completing one of GLOBE's protocol eTraining modules. Completion of one of these online modules will grant you the same certification as a comparable in-person workshop course. 

 

Can I use the eTraining Modules to become a GLOBE-trained teacher?

Teachers can complete eTraining modules to become a GLOBE-trained teacher. For more information, visit Protocol eTraining.

 Friends of El Mirage

The RoughWheelers Off Road Club has noticed numerous issues with metal fencing being loosened and/or cut and recommend provisions be added to the proposal to allow for the purchase of a welder and associated supplies. Such an addition would allow the Trail crew to reenforce sections of cable fencing that are being regularly loosened by people wishing to circumvent the designated entrance to access the lake bed when it is closed. Such intrusions are causing significant damage to the surface of the lakebed. Nathan Asdourian - 3/13/2024

Please also include a portable welder to weld closed the cable ends that circumvent the OHV area. It seems the cable ends are consistently being removed so some folks can gain free access to the site. Robert Ettleman - 3/27/2024

"I understand that FOEM uses its Honda Pioneer UTV to perform habitat monitoring, but it is not listed in the Project Cost Estimate. I urge the applicant to add this equipment use to its application." Robert Ettleman - 4/23/2024

 Friends of Jawbone

"I understand that FOJ's heavy equipment operators use 4x4 pickup trucks for transportation to and from the grader and skip loader, but it does not appear to be included in the Project Cost Estimate. I urge the application to add this equipment use to its application." Robert Ettleman - 4/23/2024

I would like to comment on the Friends of Jawbone grant application on behalf of the California Off Road Vehicle Association. This is a great group of grants to help this much loved area. How did you get an archaeologist/biologist to work for $45 per hour? In GO 4 - 2 you have $75000 for 4X4 trucks. I am not clear if you own these and mean to use them as match or you rent them to use.

This beacon signal was used by the Psyche spacecraft as a pointing reference so it could accurately aim the DSOC transceiver at the Earth receiving station – the 5-meter Hale telescope at Caltech’s Palomar Observatory near San Diego. This animation shows how DSOC's laser signals are sent between the Psyche spacecraft and ground stations on Earth - first as a pointing reference to ensure accurate aiming of the narrow laser signal and then as a data transmission to the receiving station. | Watch on YouTubeWhen the DSOC laser beam encounters Earth, it is much narrower than a radio signal transmitted from the same distance. In fact, the laser beam is only a few hundred kilometers wide when it reaches Earth, in sharp contrast with an approximately 2.5-million-kilometer-wide radio signal. This narrow beam must be pointed accurately enough so it not only intersects Earth, but also overlaps the receiving station. To ensure that the beam will be received at Palomar Observatory, the transmission must be aimed not directly at Earth, but at a point where Earth will be in its orbit when the signal arrives after traveling the great distance from the spacecraft.What's next for laser communicationsEngineers will do additional tests of the DSOC system as the Psyche spacecraft continues its 2.2-billion-mile (3.6-billion-kilometer) journey to its destination in the asteroid belt beyond Mars. Over the next couple of years, DSOC will make weekly contacts with Earth. Visit NASA's DSOC website to follow along as NASA puts the system through its paces to potentially usher in a new means of transmitting data through space.How does the cat video relate to STEM learning?The DSOC project provides a wonderful opportunity to help students understand the electromagnetic spectrum and learn about real-world applications of STEM in deep space communications.

It can reveal details of the formation of planetary systems like our own, and even sample (via the rainbow spectrum of captured light) the composition of exoplanet atmospheres.Partnerships – from the ground upNASA works with partners across the country and around the world to investigate exoplanets – whether studying them from space or from the ground.Collaborating with ground-based telescope teams is essential. When the TESS space telescope captures evidence of a new exoplanet, observations from the ground not only can confirm its existence but tell us more about the planet itself. Measurements of the planet's "mass," or heft, can be combined with TESS' measurement of its diameter, yielding its density. That, in turn, can tell us whether it's a gas planet, like Neptune, or a more dense, rocky world like ours.Ground-based telescopes that have helped confirm and characterize exoplanets, or will soon, include the Magellan II at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile, the NEID instrument on the WIYN telescope at Kitt Peak, Arizona, the Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, and the Hale Telescope at the Palomar Observatory in Southern California to name just a few among dozens. They will work with space-based telescopes – TESS and, soon, the James Webb Space Telescope – to provide details of exoplanet atmospheres, composition and other vital statistics.The WIYN telescope atop Kitt Peak in Arizona.NSF’s National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory/KPNO/NSF/AURAMissions to comePowerful next-generation instruments will bring us closer to what would be a long-anticipated, profound discovery: a small, rocky, habitable world somewhere in the galaxy with an atmosphere that reminds us of our own.A space-based platform: the Roman telescopeA telescope powerhouse now under development could open new windows of knowledge when it launches, as soon as the mid-2020s.
