Welcome to the SDSS-III CasJobs site. Please note that this site does NOT share MyDBs with the SDSS-II CasJobs site.

As of April 5, 2013, this site is running CasJobs v3_7_6, which contains the following update:

Table names are not right-justified on MyDb page Tables listing.
Maximum file sizes on the table import page are correct now.

Please note that you may need to clear your cache and upgrade your browser version for the latest CasJobs features to work (e.g. syntax highlighting).

CasJobs is an online workbench for large scientific catalogs, designed to emulate and enhance local free-form query access in a web environment.

Some features of this application include...

Both synchronous and asynchronous query execution, in the form of 'quick' and 'long' jobs.
A query 'History' that records queries and their status.
A server-side, personalized user database, called 'MyDB', enabling persistant table/function/procedure creation.
Data sharing between users, via the 'Groups' mechanism.
Data download, via MyDB table extraction, in various formats.
Multiple interface options, including a browser client as well as a java-based command line tool.
