File Reorganization
- Have a lot of jupyter notebooks that are getting a bit hard to keep track of and getting cluttered. Went through each one and made a directory of them with a description of what each file does
- README.md
Spline Fitting
- Worked on file "Continuum_Reduction_Ind.ipynb" to create a function that fits the spline function on the spectrum of the fits file. Made the function callable from other python notebooks
- Created file "Continuum_Reduction_All.ipynb" that fits a spline function all the fits files and graphs them. Here are some sample spline function graphs:
- Some of the spline curves don't look like the best fit; I need to do some more reading about spline curves to see if I'm doing the right spline fit (there's quite a few types of spline fitting like bivariate splines etc. that I still need to explore).
- I can also get the coefficients of the spline fit, but I'm not sure what they represent. Can ask Stubbs / Eske more about spline fitting.
