| Abstract: |
Correcting for the sky signature usually requires supplementary
data which are very expensive in terms of telescope time. In
addition, the scheduling flexibility is restricted as these data have to
be taken usually directly before/after the science observations due to
the high variability of the telluric absorption which depends on the
state and the chemical composition of the atmosphere at the time of
observations. Therefore, a tool for sky correction, which does not
require this supplementary calibration data, saves a significant amount
of valuable telescope time and increases its efficiency. We developed a
software package aimed at performing telluric feature corrections on the
basis of synthetic absorption spectra. |
