+In addition, the :class:`~yt.data_objects.time_series.DatasetSeries` object allows to
+select an output based on its time or by its redshift (if defined) as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   import yt
+
+   ts = yt.load("*/*.index")
+   # Get output at 3 Gyr
+   ds = ts.get_by_time((3, "Gyr"))
+   # This will fail if no output is found within 100 Myr
+   ds = ts.get_by_time((3, "Gyr"), tolerance=(100, "Myr"))
+   # Get the output at the time right before and after 3 Gyr
+   ds_before = ts.get_by_time((3, "Gyr"), side="smaller")
+   ds_after = ts.get_by_time((3, "Gyr"), side="larger")
+
+   # For cosmological simulations, you can also select an output by its redshift
+   # with the same options as above
+   ds = ts.get_by_redshift(0.5)
