Title: | Field tests for the ESPRESSO data analysis software | Authors: | CUPANI, Guido D'ODORICO, Valentina CRISTIANI, Stefano González-Hernández, Jonay I. Lovis, Christophe Sousa, Sérgio DI MARCANTONIO, Paolo Mégevand, Denis |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Volume: | Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems XXVI | Editors: | Molinaro, Marco; Shortridge, Keith; Pasian, Fabio | Series: | ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY OF THE PACIFIC CONFERENCE SERIES | Number: | 521 | First Page: | 362 | Abstract: | The data analysis software (DAS) for VLT ESPRESSO is aimed to set a new benchmark in the treatment of spectroscopic data towards the extremely-large-telescope era, providing carefully designed, fully interactive recipes to take care of complex analysis operations (e.g. radial velocity estimation in stellar spectra, interpretation of the absorption features in quasar spectra). A few months away from the instrument's first light, the DAS is now mature for science validation, with most algorithms already implemented and operational. In this paper, I will showcase the DAS features which are currently employed on high-resolution HARPS and UVES spectra to assess the scientific reliability of the recipes and their range of application. I will give a glimpse on the science that will be possible when ESPRESSO data become available, with a particular focus on the novel approach that has been adopted to simultaneously fit the emission continuum and the absorption lines in the Lyman-alpha forest of quasar spectra. | Conference Name: | Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems XXVI | Conference Place: | Trieste, Italy | Conference Date: | 16-20 October, 2016 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/30669 | URL: | http://arxiv.org/abs/1808.04249v1 https://myasp.astrosociety.org/product/CS521/vol-521-astronomical-data-analysis-software-and-systems-xxvi |
