A Series of Tutorials for analyzing high-resolution optical spectra
Topics:
- Opening fits files and headers of reduced spectra and wavelength solutions (see https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/io/fits/ to get started)
- Opening and understanding raw spectra (bias, trace, dispersion vs cross-dispersion direction), sky projection
- Normalization and blaze function removal
- Identifying sky emission lines, equilibrium(photospheric) features vs non-equilibrium features.
- Signal to noise estimates from both raw and reduced spectra.
