Specstack

A galaxy spectrum stacking tool

While doing research on galaxy I wanted to look at average galaxy populations. For this I wanted to create average spectra. The goal is to take loads of galaxy and create an average one. That’s when I created specstack.

The following animation

Specstack is available in the Astrophysics Source Code Library (Thomas, 2019) and the documentation is on GitHub.
