How do I...
Find images and spectra for all objects in a given RA/Dec/Magnitude/Absolute Magnitude range?
You can use the SDSS search tools to find all objects that meet certain criteria, such as position,
magnitude, color, or absolute magnitude. The guide How do I find data for all objects
in a given RA/Dec/Magnitude/Absolute Magnitude range? shows how to use SkyServer's search tools to
find data.
But in addition to searching for catalog data, you can also search for images and spectra using any
constraints you want, including position, magnitude, and absolute magnitude. To search for images and
spectra, you will use the Image List tool along
with SQL (links open in separate new windows).
This is an extremely powerful way to access SDSS data, because it allows you to search based on any
criteria, and then to quickly view all objects that meet your criteria.
