Spectral reduction package

Project description

This library was created to apply doppler tomography to the Algol star system. This is still the main purpose for most of the code.

However, some parts are generic and can be used for any spectrum and star. This includes:

  • flux normalization using synthetic spectra:

    normalize_spectrum --help

    Some example synthetic spectra from the Pollux database are included in the source distribution of the package.

  • planing observations of variable stars:

    plan_observations --help

    This scripts generates ics file you can import into your calenders.

  • display spectra:

    fits_display1d --help
  • manipulate fits header:

    fits_setval --help
  • loading spectra from fits and text files

  • measuring absorption or emission profiles
