PySME - Spectroscopy Made Easier

Over 20 years ago Valenti & Piskuonov developed the spectral synthesis library Spectroscopy made easy (SME)[1] to simplify spectral analysis, and it has been used in hundreds of works since. PySME is a new Python frontend to the same library, developed with the same goal in mind: Making spectroscopy easier for everyone. PySME creates accurate, high-resolution synthetic spectra, based on a wide range of stellar parameters, a linelist and a model atmosphere. It can also be used the other way around. Give PySME an observation and it will determine the best fit stellar parameters for that spectrum.Poster for Astronomdagarna 201
