[AstroPy] Announcing SpecViz 0.4.0 Release

[Nicholas Earl]

SpecViz 0.4.0 Release
 
The James Webb Data Analysis Development Forum (JDADF) is happy to announce the release of SpecViz version 0.4.0. SpecViz is a one-dimensional astronomical spectral visualization and analysis suite. It’s being actively developed by Space Telescope Science Institute as companion software for James Webb Space Telescope data, but is designed generically to support all types of astronomical spectral data.
 
Its features include
Custom file loading
Fast, interactive visualization
Plotting tools: use quick tools to manipulate your spectral plot display
Live data statistics: get information about particular regions of your data
Measurement tools
Spectral slicing: isolate spectral features on their own layers for specific analysis
Interactive model fitting: built-in models and fitting routines allow for quick and easy analysis
Model export and import: save complex models for future analyses, or to share with others
Model Arithmetic: specify advanced arithmetic operations for models
Layer arithmetic: high-level data manipulation through spectral arithmetic
Extensible plugin infrastructure
And more!
We are still in the early days of fleshing out documentation and creating helpful tutorial material, but we are aiming to provide a usable interactive interface to astronomical data that can easily integrate with workflows.
 
We would love it if anyone who is interested in using this software for their own data analysis please let us know your experience, your comments, and of course your desire for particular features.
 
Thank you Astropy community!
