SpecMatch-Emp is a tool to extract the fundamental properties (effective temperature, radius, and metallicity) by comparing a target star's spectrum to a library of spectra from stars with known properties.

Run python setup.py install in the root directory. This downloads all the necessary data files and installs the command-line tools.

Further documentation and a quickstart walkthrough can be found at http://specmatch-emp.readthedocs.io/

The spectral library and matching algorithm are described in Yee et al. (2017). If you use SpecMatch-Emp in your research, please cite this paper.
