 ## 1. Search for the spectrum of a specific galaxy
 
 First, explore what Euclid catalogs are available. Note that we need to use the object ID for our targets to be able to download their spectrum.
 
-Search for all tables in IRSA labeled as "euclid".
+Search for spectra collections in IRSA.
 
 ```{code-cell} ipython3
-Irsa.list_catalogs(filter='euclid')
+Irsa.list_collections(servicetype="ssa")
 ```
 
 ```{code-cell} ipython3
-table_1dspectra = 'euclid.objectid_spectrafile_association_q1'
+euclid_ssa_collection = 'euclid_DpdSirCombinedSpectra'
 ```
 
 ## 2. Search for the spectrum of a specific galaxy in the 1D spectra table
 
 ```{code-cell} ipython3
-obj_id = 2689918641685825137
+coord = SkyCoord(
+    ra=269.7 * u.deg,
+    dec=66.0 * u.deg
+)
+
+search_radius = 5.0 * u.arcsec
 ```
 
-We will use TAP and an ADQL query to find the spectral data for our galaxy. (ADQL is the [IVOA Astronomical Data Query Language](https://www.ivoa.net/documents/latest/ADQL.html) and is based on SQL.)
+Query the IRSA SSA service for spectra near this position
 
 ```{code-cell} ipython3
-adql_object = f"SELECT * FROM {table_1dspectra} WHERE objectid = {obj_id}"
-
-# Pull the data on this particular galaxy
-result = Irsa.query_tap(adql_object).to_table()
+ssa_result = Irsa.query_ssa(
+    pos=coord,
+    radius=search_radius,
+    collection=euclid_ssa_collection,
+)
+
+#check whether any spectra were found
+len(ssa_result)
 ```
 
 Pull out the file name from the ``result`` table:
 
 ```{code-cell} ipython3
-spectrum_path = f"https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/{result['path'][0]}"
+# Extract the single SSA result row
+row = ssa_result[0]  #in case there is more than one spectra in the search radius
