SpecPro: An Interactive IDL Program for Viewing and Analyzing Astronomical Spectra
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an interactive IDL program for viewing and analyzing astronomical spectra in the context of modern imaging surveys. SpecPro’s interactive design lets the user simultaneously view spectroscopic, photometric, and imaging data, allowing for rapid object classification and redshift determination. The spectroscopic redshift can be determined with automated cross-correlation against a variety of spectral templates or by manually overlaying common emission and absorption features on the 1-D and 2-D spectra. Stamp images and the spectral energy distribution (SED) of a source can be displayed with the interface, with the positions of prominent photometric features indicated on the SED plot. Results can easily be saved to file from within the interface. In this article we briefly discuss key interface features and provide an overview of the data formats required by the program.

Spectroscopic Analysis for Material Identification and Mapping Using Prism, an Envi/idl Based Software Package
The identification of materials by measuring and analyzing their reflectance spectra has been an important method used in analytical chemistry for decades. Now, airborne and space-based imaging spectrometers give scientists the opportunity to detect materials and map their distributions across the landscape. With new satelliteborne sensor planned for the future, for example HYSPIRI (HYPerspectr...
متن کاملApplication of IDL and ENVI Redevelopment in Hyperspectral Image Preprocessing
In the last few years, hyperspectral imaging technique has had a bright future for application on nondestructive detection of agricultural products. However, in experiment, there are usually dozens or even hundreds of hyperspectral images. It needs to spend lots of time in preprocessing all the hyperspectral data. Software ENVI is a kind of image processing software, although the users can defi...
متن کاملGeneral Collaboration Structures for Interactive Data Language Applications
Interactive Data Language (IDL) is an arrayoriented data analysis and visualization application, which is widely used in research, commerce, and education. It is meaningful to make end user IDL applications collaborative on events between computers over networks, using a common message broker as the underlying communication system, and deploy them in Peer-to-Peer Grid architecture. In order to ...

The Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) currently nearing completion on Mount Graham in Arizona, will be the world’s largest optical and infrared telescope. The raw images obtained with LINC-NIRVANA (LN), the optical/NIR beam combiner of LBT, will have an anisotropic angular resolution: typical of an 8 meter class telescope in one axis, approximately 3 times better in the orthogonal one. If exposur...

PROBLEM STATEMENT: CIECAM97s was chosen as a CIE recommended color appearance model based on its high-performance on object color appearance predictions under various viewing conditions. The model had been developed on the basis of well-defined features from other models. An IDL interactive CIECAM97s tool has been developed in order to demonstrate the influence of CIECAM97s parameters on images...
