The SpeX Prism Library Analysis Toolkit (SPLAT): A Data Curation Model

Abstract

I describe our team's development of the SpeX Prism Library Analysis Toolkit (SPLAT), a combined spectral data repository for over 2500 low-resolution spectra of very low mass dwarfs (late M, L and T dwarfs), and Python-based analysis toolkit. SPLAT was constructed through a collaborative, student-centered, research-based model with high school, undergraduate and graduate students and regional K-12 science teachers. The toolkit enables spectral index analysis, classification, spectrophotometry, atmosphere model comparison, population synthesis, and other analyses. I summarize the current components of this code, sample applications, and future development plans.
