Exploring the contents of HEASARC catalogs using Python#
Learning Goals#
This notebook will teach you:
How to retrieve and explore a HEASARC catalog’s column names, descriptions, and units.
How to retrieve the entire contents of a HEASARC catalog.
How to retrieve a subset of a HEASARC catalog with easy-to-use Astroquery features.
Introduction#
This bite-sized tutorial will show you how to retrieve and explore the contents of HEASARC catalogs in Python.
To learn how to use Python to search for a particular HEASARC catalog, please see the ‘Find specific HEASARC catalogs using Python’ tutorial.
Runtime#
As of 16th March 2026, this notebook takes ~30 s to run to completion on Fornax using the ‘small’ server with 8GB RAM/ 2 cores.
Imports#
This notebook uses features from an Astroquery pre-release. You will need to install the latest version using the command below. We will remove this once Astroquery v0.4.12 is officially released.
%pip install --pre astroquery --upgrade
from astroquery.heasarc import Heasarc
1. Listing a HEASARC catalog’s columns#
For this demonstration, we’re assuming that you already have a HEASARC-hosted catalog in mind; if not, you might find the ‘Find specific HEASARC catalogs using Python’ tutorial useful.
We will use the Archive of Chandra Cluster Entropy Profile Tables (ACCEPT) catalog (Cavagnolo K. W. et al. 2009) as an example.
The best way to get an idea of a catalog’s contents is to list the column
names and descriptions. We can do this using the Heasarc.list_columns(...)
method, passing the name of the catalog as the first argument.
Each HEASARC catalog has a subset of ‘standard’ columns that will be returned by default, which is why the table below contains only a few column names, descriptions, and units even though this catalog has 79 columns:
# We pass the name of the catalog as the first argument
Heasarc.list_columns("acceptcat")
Table length=11
| name | description | unit |
|---|---|---|
| str15 | str80 | str6 |
| ra | Right Ascension | degree |
| name | Cluster Designation | |
| chi_squared_1 | Chi-Squared of Best-Fit Model | |
| alpha_1 | Best-Fit Power-Law Index | |
| num_radial_bins | Number of Radial Bins in Fit | |
| alpha_1_error | Uncertainty in Best-Fit Power-Law Index | |
| fit_method_1 | Method of T_X Interpolation in Inner Region: flat or extr (Linear Extrapolation) | |
| redshift | Redshift | |
| dof_1 | Degrees of Freedom in Fit | |
| kt | Average Cluster Temperature | keV |
| dec | Declination | degree |
If, as is likely, you want to examine the full set of columns, you can pass the
full=True argument:
# Pass an additional argument to ensure all columns are returned
all_accept_cols = Heasarc.list_columns("acceptcat", full=True)
all_accept_cols
Table length=79
| name | description | unit |
|---|---|---|
| str23 | str80 | str8 |
| fit_method_4 | Method of T_X Interpolation in Inner Region: flat or extr (Linear Extrapolation) | |
| ra | Right Ascension | degree |

| exposure_obsid_2 | Exposure Time for Chandra Observation 2 | s |
| center_ccd_obsid_2 | CCD Location of Cluster Center in Chandra Observation 2 | |
| ... | ... | ... |
| dof_4 | Degrees of Freedom in Fit | |
| num_sigma_k0_gt_0_2 | Number of Sigma Best-Fit Core Entropy Is Away from Zero | |
| dof_3 | Degrees of Freedom in Fit | |

| p_value_4 | Probability of Worse Fit Given Chi-Squared and DOF | |
| alpha_4 | Best-Fit Power-Law Index | |

| obsid_1 | Chandra Observation Identifier 1 | |
| center_ccd_obsid_4 | CCD Location of Cluster Center in Chandra Observation 4 |
If you examine the output of the above cell, you’ll notice that only part of the table has been displayed; this is a common behavior when displaying long tables in Jupyter notebooks, across multiple modules (e.g., Astropy, Pandas, etc.), as ‘printing’ many lines can dramatically affect Jupyter’s performance.
On the other hand, a table like this isn’t going to destroy your computer, so we can
safely sidestep this issue by using the pprint_all() method of the list_columns()
output (an Astropy Table object, more on them in Section 4):
# The 'pprint' stands for 'pretty print'
all_accept_cols.pprint_all()

2. Retrieving the entire contents of a HEASARC catalog#
The simplest use case of a HEASARC catalog is that you want to retrieve the entire table.
We can easily fetch the entire catalog using Astroquery functions, but before we do, we should check how many rows there are - we want to know what we’re getting into with respect to the size of the table.
Counting the rows in a HEASARC catalog involves writing a very simple ‘Astronomical Data Query Language’ (ADQL) query.
ADQL is a cousin of the extremely popular ‘Structured Query Language’ (SQL) that has been used for database management in industry for many years; the syntax is similar, but with additions specific to astronomical searches.
We use the COUNT(*) function to return the number of rows in a table:
# Send query designed to count the rows of a catalog
accept_nrow_res = Heasarc.query_tap("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM acceptcat")
# Store the integer number of rows in a variable
accept_nrows = accept_nrow_res["count"][0]
# Visualize the returned table
accept_nrow_res
<DALResultsTable length=1>
count
int64
-----
240
From the output above, we can see that there are ‘only’ 240 rows in the catalog; combine that information with the number of columns (which we explored in Section 1), and you get a sense of the table’s scale.
As the ACCEPT catalog is quite small (relatively speaking), we can retrieve the whole table without worrying about download time or memory issues.
See also
A general tutorial on the many uses and features of ADQL is out of the scope of this bite-sized demonstration. Various resources for learning ADQL are available online, such as this short course (Demleitner M. and Heinl H. 2024), or the NASA Astronomical Virtual Observatories (NAVO) catalog queries tutorial.
On the other hand, HEASARC hosts much larger catalogs than ACCEPT. The Chandra Source Catalog 2 (CSC 2; Evans I. N. et al. 2024), for instance:
# Same again, but CSC
Heasarc.query_tap("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM csc")
<DALResultsTable length=1>
count
int64
------
407806
Warning
For large catalogs like the CSC, we do not recommend retrieving the entire table at once.
Finally, now we know that retrieving the entire ACCEPT catalog is reasonable, we can
use the query_region(...) method of Heasarc to do just that. Few arguments are
required:
catalog="acceptcat"- specifies the name of the catalog table to retrieve.spatial="all-sky"- overridesquery_region’s default behavior of searching a catalog around a given coordinate, and instead considers the entire catalog.columns="*"- specifies that all columns should be returned (otherwise you will get a small subset, as discussed in Section 1.
accept_cat = Heasarc.query_region(catalog="acceptcat", spatial="all-sky", columns="*")
accept_cat

3. Retrieving a subset of a HEASARC catalog#
If you aren’t interested in the entire catalog, then we can also use Astroquery to impose some restrictions on the rows we retrieve, based on the values of certain columns.
For example, perhaps we’re only interested in galaxy clusters with a \(z>0.4\). We saw in
Section 1 that the ACCEPT catalog includes
a column called redshift, we can use that to filter the rows we retrieve.
The query_region(...) call below will return all columns (columns="*"), and all rows where the
value of the redshift column is greater than 0.4 (column_filters={"redshift": (">", "0.4")}):
accept_cat_higherz = Heasarc.query_region(
catalog="acceptcat",
spatial="all-sky",
column_filters={"redshift": (">", "0.4")},
columns="*",
)
accept_cat_higherz

If we want to further restrict the results, we can use boolean operators to add extra filtering conditions. Here, for instance, we’ve decided we only want the higher-redshift, low-central-entropy, galaxy clusters to be returned:
accept_cat_higherz_lowk = Heasarc.query_region(
catalog="acceptcat",
spatial="all-sky",
column_filters={"redshift": (">", "0.4"), "bf_core_entropy_1": ("<", "15")},

4. Interacting with HEASARC catalog contents#
The returns from our calls to the Heasarc.query_region method are Astropy
Table objects:
type(accept_cat)
astropy.table.table.Table
You can extract information similarly to a Pandas DataFrame; e.g., indexing with a
column name string retrieves the entries in that column:
# Extract source names from our subset of the ACCEPT catalog
accept_cat_higherz_lowk["name"]
<MaskedColumn name='name' dtype='object' description='Cluster Designation' length=7>

| MACS J0329.6-0211 |
| RX J1423.8+2404 |
| MACS J1621.3+3810 |
| 3C 295 |
To retrieve the entries for a row in the table, you can index with an
integer; e.g., 0 for the first row:
accept_cat_higherz_lowk[0]
