# qsoabsfind

`qsoabsfind` is a Python module designed to detect absorbers with doublet properties in SDSS/DESI quasar spectra using a convolution method. This tool identifies potential absorbers, applies Gaussian fitting to reject false positives, and computes equivalent widths (EWs) of the lines. Currently the package works for MgII 2796,2803 and CIV 1548,1550 doublets
`qsoabsfind` is a Python module designed to detect absorbers with doublet properties in SDSS/DESI quasar spectra using a convolution method. This tool identifies potential absorbers, applies Gaussian fitting to reject false positives, and computes equivalent widths (EWs) of the lines.

Currently, the package works only for **MgII 2796,2803** and **CIV 1548,1550** doublets.

## Features

- Convolution-based detection of absorbers in QSO spectra.
- Gaussian fitting for accurate measurement of absorber properties.
- Parallel processing for efficient computation on large datasets.
- Convolution-based adaptive S/N approach for detecting absorbers in QSO spectra.
- Gaussian fitting for accurate measurement of absorber properties (such as EW, line widths, and centers).
- Parallel processing for efficient computation on a large number of spectra.
