Beginner Astroquery.MAST Tutorials
Beginner-level tutorials for how to use astroquery to search and download MAST data using Python. For SDSS-specific applications, search using collection='SDSS' or for a specific survey using provenance_name='MaNGA'.
APOGEE Tutorial: Characterizing Variable Stars with APOGEE and TESS
The Characterizing Variable Stars with APOGEE and TESS notebook demonstrates how to search for and download APOGEE data from MAST, plotting stellar spectra and atmospheric parameters from APOGEE with light curves from TESS for different types of variable stars.
eBOSS Tutorial: Exploring High-Redshift Quasars with eBOSS and JWST
The Exploring High-Redshift Quasars with eBOSS and JWST notebook demonstrates how to search for and download eBOSS data from MAST, plotting spectra and identifying emission lines for high-redshift quasars from eBOSS and JWST.
MaNGA Tutorial: Mapping Galaxy Properties with MaNGA and HST
The Mapping Galaxy Properties with MaNGA and HST tutorial notebook demonstrates how to search for and download MaNGA data from MAST, combining H-alpha and velocity maps from MaNGA with archival HST imaging data for merging galaxy pair Mrk-848B (MaNGA ID 7443-12703).
