EchelleSpectrum

class hipparchus.EchelleSpectrum(orders, header=None)

Bases: object

Echelle spectrum object, which stores each order as a Spectrum object.

Methods Summary

continuum_normalize(self[, bins, order])	Normalize the continuum in each echelle order to unity.
from_e2ds(path[, harps])	Read HARPS(-N) spectrum from an E2DS FITS file.
nearest_order(self, wavelength)	Return the order with the central wavelength nearest to wavelength.
plot(self[, ax])	Plot the echelle spectrum

Methods Documentation
