Abstract

This is a companion Focus Demonstration article to the PyMUSE python package, demonstrating its usage and utilities for VLT/MUSE data analysis, that include a wide range of options for spectra extractions, the creation of different types of images, compatibilities with some commonly used software for astronomical data analysis, among others. PyMUSE is an open-source software and can be found on Github for free use and distribution.
