Introduction

This is the original homepage of pywifes, a Python-based pipeline for reducing data from the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS).

For up-to-date documentation on version 2 of PyWiFeS, please see our ReadTheDocs page

An overview of the instrument itself can be found on its RSAA webpage.

If you use WiFeS data in your paper, be sure to cite the Dopita instrument papers:

• Dopita et al. (2007), ApSS, 310, 255
• Dopita et al. (2010), ApSS, 327, 245

We have a published paper on PyWiFeS (version 1), which you can reference to save yourself a 2-page data reduction description in your papers. The paper is here:
