Tutorials

Note

The tutorials below are currently out of date and will not run without modification against the current version of FastSpecFit. Updated notebooks will be provided in a future release.

The following resources provide worked examples for common science tasks using FastSpecFit and the broader DESI data ecosystem.

FastSpecFit Notebooks

These Jupyter notebooks are included in the FastSpecFit repository under doc/nb/:

• tutorial-fastspecfit.ipynb — running fastspec and fastphot interactively and reading the results.

• tutorial-kcorrections.ipynb — computing custom K-corrections and rest-frame photometry from the best-fitting SED model.

• tutorial-vmax.ipynb — estimating \(V_{\rm max}\) for luminosity function calculations.

DESI Tutorials

For a broader introduction to working with DESI data — including how to access data, navigate the file system, and work with DESI spectra — see the DESI tutorials repository. The Getting Started and Digging Deeper collections are particularly relevant for new users.
