ESA Herschel Science Archive (astroquery.esa.hsa)¶
Herschel was the fourth cornerstone in ESA’s Horizon 2000 science programme, designed to observe the ‘cool’ universe. It performed photometry and spectroscopy in the poorly explored 55-670 µm spectral range with a 3.5 m diameter Cassegrain telescope, providing unique observing capabilities and bridging the gap between earlier infrared space missions and groundbased facilities. Herschel successfully performed ~37000 science observations and ~6600 science calibration observations which are publicly available to the worldwide astronomical community through the Herschel Science Archive.
This package allows the access to the Herschel Science Archive.
Examples¶
1. Getting Herschel data¶
>>> from astroquery.esa.hsa import HSA
>>>
>>> HSA.download_data(observation_id='1342195355', retrieval_type='OBSERVATION',
... instrument_name='PACS')
Downloading URL http://archives.esac.esa.int/hsa/whsa-tap-server/data?&retrieval_type=OBSERVATION&observation_id=1342195355&instrument_name=PACS to 1342195355.tar ... [Done]
'1342195355.tar'
This will download the products of the observation ‘1342195355’ with the instrument ‘PACS’ and it will store them in a tar called ‘1342195355.tar’. The parameters available are detailed in the API.
For more details of the parameters check the section 6 of the Direct Product Access using TAP in the
HSA users guide.
- For more details about the products check:
https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/herschel/data-products-overview
2. Getting Observation Products¶
>>> from astroquery.esa.hsa import HSA
>>>
>>> HSA.get_observation('1342195355', instrument_name='PACS')
Downloading URL http://archives.esac.esa.int/hsa/whsa-tap-server/data?&retrieval_type=OBSERVATION&observation_id=1342195355&instrument_name=PACS to 1342195355.tar ... [Done]
'1342195355.tar'
This will download the product of the observation ‘1342195355’ with the instrument ‘PACS’ and it will store them in a tar called ‘1342195355.tar’. The parameters available are detailed in the API.
Note
There is no difference between the product retrieved with this method and
download_data. download_data
is a more generic interface that allows the user to retrieve any product or metadata and
get_observation allows the user to retrieve only observation products.
For more information check the section 6.1 of the of the Direct Product Access using TAP in the
HSA users guide.
For more details of the parameters check the section 6.2 of the Direct Product Access using TAP in the
HSA users guide.
3. Getting Herschel Postcard¶
>>> from astroquery.esa.hsa import HSA

'1342195355.jpg'
This will download the postcard (static representation in JPG-format of the final product) of the observation ‘1342195355’ with the instrument ‘PACS’ and it will store them in a tar called ‘1342195355.jpg’. The parameters available are detailed in the API.
For more details of the parameters check the section 6.2 of the Direct Product Access using TAP in the
HSA users guide.
4. Getting Herschel metadata through TAP¶
This function provides access to the Herschel Science Archive database using the Table Access Protocol (TAP) and via the Astronomical Data Query Language (ADQL).

8. Query Observations¶
>>> from astroquery.esa.hsa import HSA
>>> from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord
>>> from astropy import units as u
>>>
>>> c = SkyCoord(ra=100.2417*u.degree, dec=9.895*u.degree, frame='icrs')

1342205057
Retrieve a VOTable with the observation IDs of a given region.
9. Procedure example¶
First retrieve the observation IDs based on a position on the sky. To achive this, query the TAP service.
>>> from astroquery.esa.hsa import HSA
>>>
>>> HSA.query_hsa_tap("select top 10 observation_id from hsa.v_active_observation where "
... "contains(point('ICRS', hsa.v_active_observation.ra, hsa.v_active_observation.dec), "
... "circle('ICRS', 100.2417,9.895, 1.1))=1", output_format='csv', output_file='results.csv')
<Table length=9>
observation_id

--------------
1342228342
1342228371
1342228372
1342219315
1342205057
1342205056
1342205058
1342205056
1342205057
In this example we are doing a circle search of 1.1 degrees in an ICRS (Right ascension [RA], Declination [DEC]) position (100.2417, 9.895).
- For more information on how to use ADQL see:
After obtaining the desire ID, download the product of the observation ‘1342205057’ with the instrument ‘PACS’.
>>> HSA.download_data(observation_id='1342205057', retrieval_type='OBSERVATION', instrument_name='PACS')
Downloading URL http://archives.esac.esa.int/hsa/whsa-tap-server/data?&retrieval_type=OBSERVATION&observation_id=1342205057&instrument_name=PACS to 1342205057.tar ... [Done]
'1342205057.tar'
Troubleshooting¶
If you are repeatedly getting failed queries, or bad/out-of-date results, try clearing your cache:
>>> from astroquery.esa.hsa import HSA
>>> HSA.clear_cache()
If this function is unavailable, upgrade your version of astroquery.
The clear_cache function was introduced in version 0.4.7.dev8479.
