Welcome to PyKoala’s documentation!

PyKOALA is a Python package to reduce KOALA+AAOmega integral field spectroscopy (IFS) data creating a data cube. It produces full calibrated (wavelength, flux and astrometry) data cubes ready for science.

KOALA, the Kilofibre Optical AAT Lenslet Array, is a wide-field, high efficiency, integral field unit used by the AAOmega spectrograph on the 3.9m AAT Anglo-Australian Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory. PyKOALA is the forthcoming data reduction pipeline for creating science-ready 3D data cubes using Raw Stacked Spectra (RSS) images created with 2dfdr.
