Input Format

Input spectrum files must contain exactly three numerical columns in this order:

1. velocity

2. spectrum

3. spectrum_err

Plain text tables such as .txt, .dat, and .csv are supported when they follow this three-column structure. Whitespace-separated and comma-separated tables are both accepted.

Example

223.526564  0.040043  0.172759

224.700631  0.293556  1.416493

Read a file with:

from gaussFitSpec import read_spectrum

velocity, spectrum, spectrum_err = read_spectrum("examples/example_spectra.txt")
