Three new tools for the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST), NASA's archive for TESS, Hubble, JWST, Kepler and other missions. Existing tools are unchanged. The new tools need no API key and return download links rather than files, so a client can find TESS light curves and other data but cannot read the FITS files through this server.

New tools

  • nasa_mast_observations: observations of a named object, a TIC ID or a sky position. For TESS (the default) it matches TESS Input Catalog stars and lists their light curves by sector: SPOC 2-minute and 20-second light curves, and high-level science product (HLSP) light curves made from full-frame images, such as QLP and TESS-SPOC. Multi-sector transit searches are shown as sector ranges and are not counted as observed sectors. Other collections (HST, JWST, Kepler, all and others) and data product types use MAST's position search, which can take a minute when MAST is busy. Its radius defaults to 60″ because recent observations of fast-moving nearby stars lie tens of arcseconds from their catalog position, and the summary counts all matches by type and instrument.
  • nasa_mast_products: the files of up to 20 observations, with type, size and a download URL for each. It lists science files by default; subgroups and minimum_recommended narrow Hubble and JWST observations, which can list hundreds of files. Files still in their proprietary period are marked EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS and need a MAST token.
  • nasa_tess_ffi: the TESS sectors, cameras and CCDs whose full-frame images cover a position, with sector dates and a TESSCut cutout URL (a ZIP of FITS target pixel files) for each sector.
