High quality vibrational spectra of solid-phase molecules in ice mixtures and for temperatures of astrophysical relevance are needed to interpret infrared observations toward protostars and background stars. Over the last 25 years, the…
Integral field, or 3D, spectroscopy is the technique of obtaining spectral information over a two-dimensional, hopefully contiguous, field of view. While there is some form of astronomical 3D spectroscopy at all wavelengths, there has been…
SMART is a software package written in IDL to reduce and analyze Spitzer data from all four modules of the Infrared Spectrograph, including the peak-up arrays. The software is designed to make full use of the ancillary files generated in…
We make available a library of documented IDL .pro files as well as a shareable object library that allows IDL to call routines from LAPACK. The routines are for use in the spectral analysis of time series data. The primary focus of these…
The program package SME (Spectroscopy Made Easy), designed to perform an analysis of stellar spectra using spectral fitting techniques, was updated due to adding new functions (isotopic and hyperfine splittins) in VALD and including grids…
Spectroscopy is a central pillar of materials characterization, providing useful information on properties like structure, composition, or excited state dynamics of a system. However, many spectroscopic techniques present challenges in…
