Dear Salim,

Yes, this will help. We'll let you know when we've fixed the problem.

Thanks again,

Deborah

Dear Salim,

Many thanks for telling us about this bug. I've an older version of safari in my mac and I haven't seen the. issue. Can you also tell us which operating system you are using and we'll get to work to fix the bug asap?

Many thanks and regards,

Deborah

Dear Bruno, 

I'm glad it's working for you now. The share link should always have the HST image name in the URL, as it does in the link you sent '&hst_image=heic2205a'. 

We'll investigate if we can find any issue a few days ago.

Many thanks,

Debbie

Dear Bruno,

Thanks for telling us about the bug. This feature is working for me, therefore could you tell us the HST image that wasn't being shared? And any other details that may help.

Best regards,

Debbie

Dear Peter,

It's been a long time since your first suggestion (you did say for the long term :-) ), and as you know, we're happy to say that we've started this effort to add multi-messenger events in ESASky, starting with Gravitational Waves and Neutrino events. Our first automatic notifications from GCN happened this month from two IceCube Neutrino events, with the events being added to ESASky less than 1 minute after being reported in GCN notices. 

Our next steps are to add other types of multi-messenger events, including gamma-ray bursts. 

More information on the multi-messenger feature in ESASky can be found here: https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/esdc/esasky-interface#MultiM

Many thanks for your continued support.

Kind regards,

Debbie on behalf of the ESASky team

Dear Belen, 

The last version of ESASky, v4.1, now has the option to search for data within a cone, box or polygon. See here for details: https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/esdc/esasky-interface#search.

And, also related to your suggestion, it is also possible to select already loaded data that fall within a circle, box or polygon. See here for more details: https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/esdc/esasky-interface#seltool

and also see this video: 

Many thanks for your suggestions!

Kind regards,

Debbie

Hi, for your question regarding searching for types of objects, that indeed is not possible currently in ESASky. We have been asked this before and are looking at possible options. Currently, you'd need to know a catalogue/table to use to search for a particular type of object, or to create your own list and load it up in ESASky using the 'Manage list of targets' icon in the search field (and in explorer mode, the 3rd icon on the left). We do also have curated lists of some types of objects (also in Manage list of targets), but these are only a small sample.

Kind regards,

Debbie

Dear Millennium Twain,

Many thanks for your suggestion, it is indeed a very good idea to make the identification of objects far easier for our ESASky users. Currently it's not so obvious, you right click and select one of the name resolvers (SIMBAD or NED), but these are mainly used by professional astronomers and therefore are not necessarily known by all our users. 

We will add your suggestion to our backlog list and let you know when it is available.

And many thanks for sharing your tweet in twitter!

Best regards,

Debbie, on behalf of the ESASky team
