Components

A “Component” in spexxy describes a component in a fit, which in general is a collection of parameters and a method to fetch data for a given set of parameter values. Typically, a component build on top of a Grid or an interpolator.

spexxy comes with a few pre-defined grids:

  • SpectrumComponent is the base class for all components that serve spectra.
  • StarComponent contains a single spectrum and adds LOSVD parameters.
  • GridComponent wraps a grid or an interpolator into a component and adds LOSVD parameters.
  • TelluricsComponent is just a convenient class derived from GridComponent <spexxy.component.GridComponent> that changes the default’s component name.
