Video Demos

Static user guides can be comprehensive, but often the best way to learn a complex workflow is to watch a Portal user perform a task. The following sections provide links to narrated videos that describe both basic and advanced features of the Portal.

Note

These videos were created some years ago, and the appearance of some Portal features has since been updated.

Data Availability Notifications

You may subscribe to notifications about data availability in MAST. While this video focuses on reprocessed data from HST, notifications can be set for both HST and JWST by program ID, and may be triggered by multiple events such as: initial availability in the archive, when data become public, and when data are reprocessed for some reason.


Tutorials

The following tutorials illustrate how to use the Hubble Source Catalog (HSC) and the Portal for science analysis. These exercises were developed for HSC version 2, but are still useful for the current version (HSC v3.1). Some of the tutorials perform searches with the Hubble Legacy Archive interface, but the searches can be performed with the Portal just as well.
