QubeSpec

QubeSpec is a simple but powerful python package to fit optical astronomical spectra and more importantly analysing IFS cube from JWST/NIRSpec, JWST/MIRI, VLT/KMOS and VLT/SINFONI. The code has built models for fitting Halpha, [OIII], Hbeta, [SII] and [NII] of galaxies, galaxies with outflows, Type-1 AGN and Quasars.

What can QubeSpec do?

Fit IFS cubes with different models.

Source and installation

QubeSpec is developed at GitHub, and should be downloaded or pulled from there. Then, from inside your working directory, run (works on bash, untested on tcsh)

You should then be able to import QubeSpec in python as:

Getting started

The best place to get started is by looking at the iPython notebook examples. The full tutorial is in:

• Loading a cube: For Loading the IFS cube into QubeSpec and preparing it to fit

• 1D fitting: Explanation of how fitting works.

• Spaxel-by-Spaxel fitting: Fitting every spaxel in the cube.
