Available Paths¶

Paths are defined for each public data release, any internal SDSS releases, as well as for “working” paths not included in any data release. The available paths for each release are shown below. To learn how to add a new path, see Add Paths into the Tree and follow the instructions.

Current Working Paths

sdsswork - the latest “working” path definitions
sdss5 - temporary working paths for SDSS-V

Public Data Release Paths

DR16 - paths defined for public data release 16
DR15
DR14
DR13
DR12
DR11
DR10
DR9
DR8

Internal SDSS Release Paths

MPL-9 - MaNGA Product Launch 9
MPL-8
MPL-7
MPL-6
MPL-5
MPL-4
MPL-3

Lastest Path Evolution¶

sdss_access paths sometimes change between various SDSS data releases. Here we show changes for the latest public data release. See the complete path evolution for a full list of changes over all releases.
