PySpecKit Spectroscopic Toolkit

pyspeckit.bitbucket.org and https://github.com/pyspeckit/pyspeckit

This is a code framework designed to allow for analysis of spectroscopic data from a wide variety of astronomical instruments. It is motivated by the lack of general spectroscopic analysis tools applicable at multiple wavelengths (compare to IRAF, SPLAT, etc. - these are wavelength-specific and/or do not make user scripting easy).

Initial implementation focuses on optical and radio applications, e.g. gaussian and voigt profile fitting, baseline/continuum fitting, and equivalent width measurements. However, the design is meant to be extensible. We want additional features to be trivial to implement.

In that vein, there is a growing set of spectral models implemented. The model and hyperfinemodel classes makes model implementation quite straightforward, if not trivial (you still have to plug in the right frequency offsets and relative line strengths).

Plotting is straightforward, as is usually the case with matplotlib-based codes. We have a few different methods of error bar plotting implemented, a decent (and expanding) units class for pretty printing of spectroscopic units, and different methods of fit plotting.

We’re also looking for more users to give us more use cases! Contact us at pyspeckit@gmail.com or post issues

Requirements: matplotlib numpy

Preferably at least one of: pyfits atpy asciitable

Optional: scipy lmfit-py lineid_plot

CHANGES

Release 0.1.13

Cleanup excess data files

Bugfixes in baseline fitting

Added astropy.models interface

Release 0.1.12

New formaldehyde 218 GHz fitter

Allow parinfo to be input as “guess=” or “parinfo=”

Release 0.1.11

bugfix to EQW non-fitted (“empirical”)

Release 0.1.10

bugfix: unit conversion with reference wavelength

bugfix: interactive buttons “reconnected” each time

new feature: voigt profile interactive guess now has 2 widths

Release 0.1.9

Added lineid_plot tools

Baseline can fit power laws

New TSPEC unmerged, IRAF fits readers

astropy.io.fits compatibility fixes

General bugfixes

Voigt Profile Fitter - bugfix, previously abused notation / misused widths

Release 0.1.8

BUGFIX RELEASE

Documentation updates

Speed boost for model grids

Some support for pymodelfit

added emcee and pymc generators

Release 0.1.7

Added cross-correlation

Added (some) unit tests

New interactive slider widget for manipulating models (Spectrum.specfit.add_sliders())

Subtle but very significant bug-fix: parinfo is now a single uniform list, based on the ParinfoList class.

You can now fit based on what you see by using the ‘use_window_limits=True’ kwarg .. warning:: This changes the default behavior in interactive mode!

lmfit-py can now be used for fitting via the ‘use_lmfit’ kwarg

BUGFIX: SpectroscopicAxis can be converted between units even when scalar

velocity frames are read from FITS headers following the VELDEF conventions

Release 0.1.6

H2CO fit / plot wrapper

bugfixes

setup.py no longer tries to write config files

Release 0.1.5

Added GBT (GBTIDL SDFITS file) and ALFALFA (ALFALFA idlsave .src) readers

added extinction model (just a function, not a complete model yet)

Release 0.1.4

removed setuptools & distribute (they fail)

added hydrogen.py to models

first release to inherit from astropy’s Spectrum1D

Release 0.1.3

some internal cleanup / refactoring

override slicing (__getitem__ features)

parallel moment & fitting in Cubes repaired

Release 0.1.2

added MIT license, moved mpfit and parallel_map inside pyspeckit as

submodules

Release 0.1.1

bugfixes and versioning work

Release 0.1.0

Initial creation
