    AST3002F: Reduction Guide (2018)
    (2018) Titus, Naomi; Woudt, Patrick
    The AST3002F spectroscopy practical involves the reduction and analysis of SALT spectroscopy of candidate white dwarfs in the Kepler field. The data are associated with a SALT Science project (2016-1- SCI-038). The reduction guide describes, step-by-step, the reduction process for the spectroscopic practical which includes a number of steps, namely: - a visual inspection of the spectra - removal of cosmic rays - wavelength calibration - sky subtraction - extraction of the spectrum of the primary target - extraction of the spectrum of other stars near the target
