Methods of Accessing SDSS Data at MAST
MAST Portal
The MAST Portal is a web-based search interface for querying all data at MAST. See the SDSS in the MAST Portal guide for information on searching and downloading SDSS data using the MAST Portal. In an Advanced Search, search for Mission="SDSS" to view all SDSS data, or use the Provenance Name filter to search for specific SDSS surveys (for example, "APOGEE" or "eBOSS"). You can also search for a target name ("M101") or by coordinates ("14h03m12.6s +54d20m56.7s") to search for specific targets. An example portal search of SDSS data is shown in Figure 1.
