Abstract

 All MAST catalog holdings are available via a ConeSearch endpoint. 
This service provides access to MAST holdings with pointing positional information in the Common Archive Observation Model (CAOM) database, by providing access to the ObsPointing table as a cone search. This serves the same data as the MAST CAOMTAP service, linked as an auxiliary capability.
 
Available missions are listed at http://archive.stsci.edu/vo/mast_services.html.
