Cheatsheet

PFANT Fortran binaries

• innewmarcs: interpolate atmospheric model

• hydro2: calculate hydrogen lines

• pfant: spectral synthesis

• nulbad: convolution with Gaussian

Python applications from project PyFANT

Graphical applications

• abed.py: Abundances file editor

• ated.py: Atomic lines file editor

• convmol.py: Conversion of molecular lines data to PFANT format

• explorer.py: F311 Explorer – list, visualize, and edit data files (à la File Manager)

• mained.py: Main configuration file editor

• mced.py: Editor for molecular constants file

• mled.py: Molecular lines file editor

• moldbed.py: Editor for molecules SQLite database

• tune-zinf.py: Tunes the “zinf” parameter for each atomic line in atomic lines file

• x.py: PFANT Launcher – Graphical Interface for Spectral Synthesis

Command-line tools

• copy-star.py: Copies stellar data files (such as main.dat, abonds.dat, dissoc.dat) to local directory

• create-grid.py: Merges several atmospheric models into a single file (i.e., the “grid”)

• cut-atoms.py: Cuts atomic lines file to wavelength interval specified

• cut-molecules.py: Cuts molecular lines file to wavelength interval specified

• cut-spectrum.py: Cuts spectrum file to wavelength interval specified

• hitran-scraper.py: Retrieves molecular lines from the HITRAN database

• link.py: Creates symbolic links to PFANT data files as an alternative to copying these (sometimes large) files into local directory

• nist-scraper.py: Retrieves molecular constants from NIST Web Book for a particular molecule

• nulbad.py: Convolve spectrum with Gaussian profile (similar, but not equivalent, to Fortran nulbad)

• plot-spectra.py: Plots spectra on screen or creates PDF file

• run4.py: Runs the four Fortran binaries in sequence: innewmarcs, hydro2, pfant, nulbad

• save-pdf.py: Looks for files “.norm” inside directories session- and saves one figure per page in a PDF file

• vald3-to-atoms.py: Converts VALD3 atomic/molecular lines file to PFANT atomic lines file.

Hint

All programs have a --help argument.

Command-line options for the Fortran binaries

Options are accompained by their default values.

Below, <main_xxxxx> means that option xxxxx is, by default, read from PFANT main configuration file.
