What is Marvin?

Marvin is a complete ecosystem designed for overcoming the challenge of searching, accessing, and visualizing the MaNGA data. It consists of a three-pronged approach of a web app, a python package, and an API. The web app, Marvin-web, provides an easily accessible interface for searching the MaNGA data and visual exploration of individual MaNGA galaxies or of the entire sample. The python package, in particular Marvin-tools, allows users to easily and efficiently interact with the MaNGA data via local files, files retrieved from the [Science Archive Server](https://sas.sdss.org), or data directly grabbed from the database. The tools come mainly in the form of convenience functions and classes for interacting with the data. An additional tool is a powerful query functionality that uses the API to query the MaNGA databases and return the search results to your python session. Marvin-API is the critical link that allows Marvin-tools and Marvin-web to interact with the databases, which enables users to harness the statistical power of the MaNGA data set.
