| My Software: | EWlim-cal – Systematically calculates the equivalent width limit for resolved or unresolved absorption lines. The pixels are properly weighted by the instrumental profile based on the expected width of the absorption line (assuming a gaussian shape). Uncertainty in the equivalent width limit is estimated from the uncertainties in resolution of the instrument, rest full width half-maximum of the absorption line, rest wavelength of the absorption line, and the continuum fit. |
