A new High-Level Science Product provides a set of TESS co-added images to make cutouts of low-surface brightness galaxies, and a Jupyter Notebook to assist with making those cutouts. Updates were also made to TICA and TESS-SPOC adding some new light curves for certain sectors and early quick look full frame images for new sectors.
A new High-Level Science Product at MAST provides a panchromatic spectrum of the nearby planet hosting M dwarf LHS 3844 from 1 Angstrom to 10 microns, including a flare event observed in FUV. Updates also included ~150k new light curves derived from TESS FFI products, new throughput files and spectral models available for software packages, and the latest early-access FFI files from TESS.
TESScut now supports moving cutouts! Give the web form or command-line any resolvable solar system object name in JPL Horizons and create cutouts of TESS full-frame images that stay centered on the object!
A new High-Level Science Product uses HST multi-band imaging reduced with a new pipeline, including sophisticated sky subtraction and PSF matching, to search for luminous galaxies and quasars at redshifts z > 7. Updates to the TICA collection also included early-access FFI data for TESS Sector 37.
High-Level Science Products at MAST added a new HST survey of the N44 star-forming complex in the Large Magellanic cloud aiming to quantify the star formation history of the region, and some updated synthetic spectral models for use in various STScI exposure time calculators.
Additional "quick look"-calibrated TESS Full-Frame Images for Sectors 36 and 37 will be available through the TICA collection in the coming days.
The second ULLYSES Data Release (DR2) is now available! This data release includes medium- and high-resolution UV spectra and associated high-level science products (HLSPs) for 122 massive stars in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, 13 T Tauri stars in the Ori OB1 and Sigma Ori star-forming regions, and 5 non-ULLYSES targets that were present in STIS slit observations.
A new space for MAST documentation is now publicly-available, with updates to the Portal User Guide, a new MAST Data Holdings space, and much more to come!
High-Level Science Products at MAST added a new collection of multi-band HST photometry for sources in the Triangulum galaxy, as well as a large set of new TESS light curves, and early Full-Frame Images from orbit 2 for TESS Sector 35.
The fully-revamped tool allows subscriptions to bi-weekly notifications for the latest STScI flagship (including HST, JWST, and Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope) and MAST mission publications.
The TESS Image CAlibrator (TICA) collection will release a set of "quick-look" Full Frame Images for Sector 35 before standard mission products are available. This will allow our TESS community to more rapidly begin analysis, plan follow-up observations, or search for transients and moving targets.
A new High-Level Science Product providing the TESS full-frame images used in the MIT Quick-Look Pipeline is now available, and the TESS-SPOC collection has started releasing light curves built from the TESS extended mission 10-minute cadence data.
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.
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.
Updates to existing High-Level Science Products include new global maps for Uranus from the OPAL team, and some new and corrected galaxy cluster models for the RELICS collection.
