This file contains a version of the SDSS-IV MaNGA Stellar Library (MaStar) which has been corrected for the effects of absorption in the CaII 3934, 3969 and NaI D 5891, 5897 transitions arising in the Milky Way's interstellar medium (ISM). These corrections are described in full in Rubin et al. (2025). In brief, we first develop a model of the absorption strengths of these transitions as a function of stellar distance, Galactic latitude, and dust reddening based upon high-spectral resolution studies. We use this model to identify 6342 MaStar stars with negligible ISM absorption. For 12110 of the remaining stars, we replace their NaI D profile (and their CaII profile for effective temperatures > 9000 K) with a coadded spectrum of low-ISM stars with similar effective temperature, surface gravity, and metallicity. For 738 additional stars with effective temperatures > 9000 K, we replace these spectral regions with a matching ATLAS9-based BOSZ model. This procedure yields corrected spectroscopy for 80% of the 24162-star catalog. The spectra in this file are identical to those which have been unified to the 99.5th-percentile spectral resolution curve for MaStar and made available at https://www.sdss4.org/dr17/mastar/mastar-spectra (with the exception of the corrected spectral regions described above). The datamodel is described below. MANGAID - The XX-XXXXXX format MaNGA IDWAVE - Vacuum wavelength grid.
