OneSpec

Overview

Generally, the ultimate PypeIt spectrum output is a single spectrum per source, fully calibrated and (as desired) with a :doc:`telluric` performed.

The standard way to generate this file is with the :ref:`pypeit_coadd_1dspec` script.

The naming of this file is user-generated, i.e. it can be anything you wish.

The header of the primary extension includes the core_meta of PypeIt, e.g. RA, DEC, MJD, and configuration parameters of the instrument.

Inspection

You view the spectrum using the lt_xspec script (pypeit_show_1dspec will not work), which loads the data and launches a GUI from the `linetools`_ package. e.g.:

lt_xspec J1217p3905_coadd.fits

Current Data Model

Internally, the spectrum for a single object is held by the :class:`~pypeit.onespec.OneSpec` class.

Here is its datamodel, which is written as an `astropy.io.fits.BinTableHDU`_ in the first HDU of the file.

All wavelengths are in vacuum and flux units depend on whether :doc:`fluxing` was performed.
