The package provides several functionalities to pre-process spectra and fit the

NIRDust needs a minimum of two spectra to run: a target one, where the dust
temperature will be determined, and a reference spectrum, where the emission
is considered to be purely stellar. The reference spectrum spectrum will be used by
Nirdust to model the stellar emission from the target spectrum.
