| Abstract: |
We aim to provide a suite of publicly
available spectral data reduction software to facilitate
rapid scientific outcomes from time–domain observations. For time
resolved observations, an automated pipeline frees astronomers from
performance of the routine data analysis tasks to concentrate on
interpretation, planning future observations and communication with
international collaborators. The
project consists of two parts: data processing (ASPIRED)
and a graphical user interface (gASPIRED).
ASPIRED is written in Python 3, and was intentionally developed
as a self–consistent reduction pipeline with its own diagnostics and
error handling. The pipeline can reduce 2D spectral data
from raw image to wavelength and flux calibrated 1D spectrum
automatically without any user input. gASPIRED is a
cross–platform software developed with Electron on a single
code base. It brings interactivity to the software with a well–maintained
and user–friendly environment. |
