The use of Specutils by Data Central

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2024-02-26 v1

Abstract

Specutils is an Astropy affiliated package which provides a consistent interface to astronomical spectra (primarily 1D). As Specutils can be adapted to parse spectra in many different formats, Specutils plays a key role at Data Central, allowing us to handle the diverse formats provided to us by survey teams. In this poster, I will cover what Specutils is, how it works, how Data Central uses it, and why you too should use and contribute to it.
