AutoSpec swMATH ID: 28161 Software Authors: Alex Griffiths, Christopher J. Conselice Description: AutoSpec: This software aims to provide fast, automated extraction of high quality 1D spectra from astronomical datacubes with minimal user effort. AutoSpec takes an IFU datacube and a simple parameter file in order to extract a 1D spectra for each object in a supplied catalogue. A custom designed cross-correlation algorithm helps to improve signal to noise as well as isolate sources from neighbouring contaminants. A preprint of the science paper describing the software can be found on the arXiv (https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.05922) Homepage: https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.05922 Source Code: https://github.com/a-griffiths/AutoSpec Dependencies: Python Keywords: Astrophysics; arXiv_astro-ph.GA; arXiv_astro-ph.IM; imaging spectroscopy; Python; integral field unit; IFU Related Software: MPDAF; PySpecKit; SExtractor; LSDCat; ASCL; MUSELET; Python Cited in: 0 Publications Standard Articles 1 Publication describing the Software Year AutoSpec: Fast Automated Spectral Extraction Software for IFU Datacubes Alex Griffiths, Christopher J.
