Continuing my streak of software publishing! #) I am delighted to announce the publication of my "pure-Python" toolkit for spectral data reduction, which I started prototyping in 2019. This toolkit, ASPIRED, is completely free of IRAF. It is a good solut…lnkd.in/dQEP-PUS

Just unleashed my first Python C-extension module, and it's a game-changer! With performance gains ranging between 50 and 400 times faster than pure Python, depending on the array size!🚀(based on the original work of SpectRes) Check it out on GitHub: github.com/cylammarco/Spe…

@astro_hsd 😮‍💨 Good luck 🤞

Happy JD 2460000!

I made this animated gif a while back to help explain stellar population evolution to my intro astronomy majors. It's not perfect, but it works pretty well.
