SpeXtra
A python tool to manage and manipulate astronomical spectra
Description
speXtra is a python tool to download, load, display and manipulate spectra of astronomical sources.
It has developed to provide spectral sources to ScopeSim but it may be helpful for other purposes too.
speXtra stands in the shoulder of giants: synphot and astropy.
To install spextra simply run:
bash
pip install spextra
Functionalities
speXtra is able to:
- Download spectra from a database and return it in format compatible with
synphotformat.
python
from spextra import Spextrum
sp = Spextrum("kc96/s0")
and it will load the S0 galaxy template of the Kinney-Calzetti spectral library. To quickly plot the resulting spectra, simply type
python
sp.plot()
