Data Reduction

Based on the Spextool IDL package (version 4.1), a new suite of data reduction algorithms, specifically designed for the data format and characteristics of ARCoIRIS, has been written by Dr. Katelyn Allers (Bucknell University). Telluric correction and flux calibration of the post-extraction spectra are achieved through the xtellcorr IDL package. The ARCoIRIS adaption of the Spextool package can be downloaded here.

Videos describing how to use the Spextool IDL program for ARCoIRIS can be found here.
