The Payne

Tools for interpolating spectral models with neural networks.

Installation

Clone this repository and run code from the base directory.

python setup.py install

The tutorial shows some simple use cases.

Dependencies

• The spectral model and fitting routines require only Numpy and Scipy.
• Training a new neural network requires PyTorch (GPUs required).
• All these dependencies will be automatically installed alongside with this package
• I develop this package in Python 3.7 using Anaconda.

Citing this code

• Please cite Ting et al. 2019, when using this code. The paper describes the method and its application to APOGEE spectra.
