The SME code to analyse reference stars
Résumé
Spectroscopy Made Easy (SME) calculates synthetic spectra of stars and fits them to observed spectra. The first release was by Valenti and Piskunov (1996). Needs IDL and external shared library. Requires atomic and/or molecular line data in VALD format. SME job defined through GUI or script, with input and output in IDL structures. Execution time from few second to a few days depending on number of lines synthesized and free parameters. Now working on acceptable line lists and corresponding masks, and defining procedures for partial automation. Problem with SME code not fully polished.
