Description
Hello,
it seems that it is not possible to obtain the spectral lines from a NED query.
(I am referring to these in the NED search, for clarity)
It seems that the `photometry` table is available via the `get_table` method, but this - as the name suggests - incudes only photometric measurements.
On the other hand, one can fetch the spectra with `get_spectra`.
But I'd like to access directly the line information.
Any workaround?
Best, and thank you!
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the NED query entry points mentioned in the issue, especially get_table and get_spectra, and determine whether NED exposes spectral-line data through a separate response or table. Done should provide a documented way to access the requested line information directly, with coverage for the resulting behavior in the relevant tests.
