IRSA Highlights from 2021

The Spitzer Cosmic Dawn Exploration Science program, which used nearly 11% of the total Spitzer mission time to cover 71.5 sq. deg. in several extragalactic fields, is now available, along with the Herschel Hi-GAL 360 degree Catalogue of Clump Physical Properties. (Image)

The eighth public data release from the Zwicky Transient Facility contains approximately 32.5 million images, 520 billion source detections extracted from these images, and 3.95 billion light curves (Image)

The fourth release of the SOFIA Archive at IRSA adds science and abstract keyword search capability, improved visualization for spectral cubes, and quality assurance comments for SOFIA data products. (Image)

The seventh public data release from the Zwicky Transient Facility contains approximately 30.9 million images, 495 billion source detections extracted from these images, and 3.7 billion light curves (Image)

The sixth public data release from the Zwicky Transient Facility contains approximately 28.5 million images, 439 billion source detections extracted from these images, and 3.6 billion light curves. (Image)

IRSA Viewer, Finder Chart, and other similar tools have been updated with bug fixes and a variety of interface improvements including more powerful plotting capabilities (such as the ability to change point color). New movies accompanying these releases are available on the IRSA YouTube channel. (Image)

The COSMOS2015 and COSMOS X-ray Group Catalog are now available. (Image)

The fifth public data release from the Zwicky Transient Facility contains approximately 24.8 million images, 350 billion source detections extracted from these images, and 3.5 billion light curves. (Image)

The NEOWISE Reactivation 2021 Release adds approximately 2.5 million image sets and 18.8 billion source detections to the public archive. These data were acquired during the seventh year of the NEOWISE Reactivation Mission. (Image)

IRSA Viewer has been updated with bug fixes and a variety of interface improvements, including:

• a more powerful interface for loading catalogs, such as multi-HDU FITS support;
• a new interface for constructing advanced queries using the VO Table Access Protocol (TAP).

The Catalog Search Tool has been updated to return results more quickly for most queries, especially for lists of targets. Users experiencing reduced performance are encouraged to contact the help desk for support.

CosmoDC2 is a large, mock galaxy catalog originally designed to support dark energy science with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, and is now available through IRSA's Catalog Search Tool. (Image)
