Description

Hi, I am working at 4MOST, and we are looking for a simple standalone spectral viewer for testing purposes. We just stumbled upon this package and are wondering how useful it would be outside of the DESI context? Can one just start it to check a spectrum?

Best regards

Ole

Research direction

Start by reading the package entry points and launch instructions to determine how Prospect is currently started and what spectrum inputs it accepts. Compare the current DESI-specific assumptions with the requested standalone FITS use case; done would be a clear determination of whether a general-purpose viewer is supported or what scope would be required.
