Can I get “HLSP” that have been contributed to MAST (e.g., UDF, COSMOS, GOODS, …)?
Yes, many of the contributed high-level science products (HLSP) that include HST images can be accessed through the HLA (in the inventory, images, and footprints views, and in the interactive display). They appear in the inventory tables asLevel 5 (where Level 1 = exposures, Level 2 = combined images, etc.) The HLSP are automatically included using the default search settings (Data Product = “Best Available”), or the Data Product menu (in the advanced search options) can be used to search only for “Contributed HLSP (Level 5)”. You may also access these data through the MAST HLSP interface, which in some cases provides access to additional data products such as catalogs. The More… page accessed through the Images view includes a link to the relevant MAST HLSP page for each project. A quick way to view HLSP data is to select “advanced search”, enter “0 0 r=180” in the position search box, set the “Data Products” to “Contributed HLSP (Level 5)”, select the ACS instrument only, then clic
