Description
We introduce the Galaxy IFU Spectroscopy Tool (GIST), a convenient, all-in-one and multi-purpose tool for the analysis and visualisation of already reduced (integral-field) spectroscopic data. In particular, the pipeline performs all steps from read-in and preparation of data to its scientific analysis and visualisation in publication-quality plots. The code measures stellar kinematics and non-parametric star formation histories using the pPXF routine (Cappellari & Emsellem <xref rid="r2" ref-type="bibr">2004</xref>; Cappellari <xref rid="r3" ref-type="bibr">2017</xref>), performs an emission-line analysis with the GandALF procedure (Sarzi et al. <xref rid="r7" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>; Falcón-Barroso et al. <xref rid="r4" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>), and determines absorption line-strength indices and their corresponding single stellar population equivalent population properties (Kuntschner et al.<xref rid="r5" ref-type="bibr">2006</xref>; Martín-Navarro et al. <xref rid="r6" ref-type="bibr">2018</xref>). The dedicated visualisation routine Mapviewer facilitates the access of all data products in a sophisticated graphical user interface with fully interactive plots.
