DAOSPEC

DAOSPEC

DAOSPEC is a Fortran program that automatically finds absorption lines in a stellar spectrum, fits the continuum, measures equivalent widths, and identifies lines with a laboratory linelist; it also provides a radial velocity estimate. DAOSPEC is designed to work on extracted one-dimensional spectra that have been binned linear in wavelength, either in FITS or in IRAF (.imh + .pix) format. The cookbook describes how to obtain, install, configure, and use DAOSPEC.
