DOI

If you use this software in your research, please cite it using the DOI provided above (or see the "Cite this repository" tab on this page). For GCNs, you can acknowledge the use with a sentence such as:

This analysis was done with the help of the zHunter tool (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15189495)

zHunter

zHunter is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) tool to visualize and perform basic manipulation of 1D and 2D astronomical spectra. It is originally developed to help find (hunt for) the redshift z of transient sources observed spectroscopically, hence its name.

Installation

If you use a virtual environment manager for python (recommended!), you can create an environment specific for zHunter with:

conda create -n zhunter python=3.10 Then don't forget to activate it when using zhunter with: conda activate zhunter

Using pip

$ pip install zhunter

If you want the latest development you can clone the project, move to the root of the project, switch to the dev branch and do: $ pip install -e .

Launching the GUI

If the installation went smoothly, you can launch the GUI by simply typing in your terminal: $ zhunter
