SpectRes: A Fast Spectral Resampling Tool in Python

Abstract

I present a fast Python tool, SpectRes, for carrying out the resampling of spectral flux densities and their associated uncertainties onto different wavelength grids. The function works with any grid of wavelength values, including non-uniform sampling, and preserves the integrated flux. This may be of use for binning data to increase the signal to noise ratio, obtaining synthetic photometry, or resampling model spectra to match the sampling of observed data for spectral energy distribution fitting. The function can be downloaded from https://www.github.com/ACCarnall/SpectRes.
