Spectrum Services Help

The NVO's Spectrum Services are tools to display and analyze spectra. You can do a simple search by coordinates (enter an RA/dec and a search radius) and surveys, or you can specify object types and other spectral features using an Advanced or SQL search.

Once you find matching spectra, you can plot each spectrum or download it as a CSV file. You can also plot multiple spectra on the same axes, or save spectra to a My Spectra database.

The best way to learn how to use the Spectrum services is to explore them on your own. See the links below if you need more help.
