Tuskitoo: Two-dim Spectra Kit Tool

Tuskitoo (Two-dim Spectra Kit Tool) is a Python 3 package that integrates a range of tools for advanced two-dimensional spectral analysis. Originally developed for X-shooter data, it is flexible enough to be applied to spectra from other instruments as well. The package streamlines the spectral extraction process and implements PCA-based sky subtraction, providing a comprehensive framework for analyzing complex spectroscopic observations.

Features

• Spectral Extraction: Tools for accurate extraction of spectra from raw two-dimensional observations.

• PCA Sky Subtraction: Uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to effectively subtract sky background.

• Telluric Correction: Applies telluric correction to 1D or 2D spectra.

• Visualization: Provides straightforward visualization of both 1D and 2D spectra.

Installation

Install Tuskitoo locally using the following command:

pip install -e .

Prerequisites

You need to have Python == 3.10 installed.
