Emissionline fitting Task manager Pierre FERRUIT CRAL EURO

Emission-line fitting Task manager : Pierre FERRUIT (CRAL) EURO 3 D – Kick Off Meeting – IAC 2 -3 -4/07/2002

Emission line fitting l Goal : develop a user-friendly tool for emission-line fitting in 3 D data cubes l l Basic, classical emission-line fitting tool, E 3 D format ready Reliable (!) automatic fitting of data cube spectra 3 D specific tools (TBD) User-friendly GUI l Starting point : l l Existing C-programs developed in Lyon Existing GUI (Tk) EURO 3 D – Kick Off Meeting – IAC 2 -3 -4/07/2002

The difficulties… l l Extremely complex, spatially varying line profiles Larger and larger number of spectra automation ! EURO 3 D – Kick Off Meeting – IAC 2 -3 -4/07/2002

WP 2. 3 – Emission-line fitting WP 2. 3. 1 Fitting software WP 2. 3. 2 GUI WP 2. 3. 3 3 D specific tools WP 2. 7. 4 Documentation Review of requirements Porting existing software Regularization Minimization routines Automated fitting Other tools ? Error computation Software development Fitting functions Testing Software development cookbook Manual and cookbooks Module integration Testing Some work A decent amount of work An awful lot of work EURO 3 D – Kick Off Meeting – IAC 2 -3 -4/07/2002

Conclusions… l l Task breakdown heavily biased toward using existing Lyon tools as a baseline Tentative schedule (assuming the arrival of the post-doc before the end of this year) No name of participants, yet… Who is interested to get involved into the development of these tools ? Who wants to do what ? Join us !!! Take part to this adventure !!! EURO 3 D – Kick Off Meeting – IAC 2 -3 -4/07/2002
