Introduction

Project AOSSS was started to support telescope+spectrograph simulations carried out at the WebSim-COMPASS plaftorm.

It provides tools to:

• create input data cubes for that plataform
• download, visualize, generate reports, and organize results from the simulator

In addition, there is a tool to plot spectral lines of interest versus spectrograph modes coverage at given redshifts.

The package also contains a library (API - application programming interface) to deal with photometric problems and to calculate the color of a spectrum. This API is used in the project applications, but may be used more broadly.
