PAHFIT¶
pahfit
is a python package providing a decomposition model
for astronomical infrared spectra, focusing on dust and gas emission
features from the interstellar medium.
The original versions of PAHFIT (v1.x) were written in IDL and focused mainly on Spitzer/IRS spectroscopic observations. This python-based versions (>=v2.0) will provide expanded capabilities including more instrument (e.g., AKARI and JWST) and a more flexible modeling framework suitable for modeling a wider range of astrophysical sources.
For details for the IDL version of PAHFIT see Smith, J.D.T., Draine B.T., et al., 2007, ApJ, 656, 770.
This package is potentially an astropy affiliated package and uses the astropy.modeling framework.
User Documentation¶
Installation¶
Repository¶
GitHub: pahfit
Quick Start¶
Text, plots, and (potentially) code to quickly get a user fitting a spectrum.
Reporting Issues¶
If you have found a bug in pahfit
please report it by creating a
new issue on the pahfit
GitHub issue tracker.
Please include an example that demonstrates the issue sufficiently so that the developers can reproduce and fix the problem.
Contributing¶
Like the Astropy project, pahfit
is made both by and for its
users. We accept contributions at all levels, spanning the gamut from fixing a
typo in the documentation to developing a major new feature. We welcome
contributors who will abide by the Python Software Foundation Code of Conduct.
pahfit
follows the same workflow and coding guidelines as
Astropy. The following pages will help you get started with contributing
fixes, code, or documentation (no git or GitHub experience necessary):
