Purpose and Description

The Spitzer IRS Custom Extraction (SPICE) software is a JAVA-based tool to interactively extract Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) spectra.

SPICE is designed to allow the user to:

• visualize the extraction performed by the IRS pipeline
• examine features at known wavelengths in the 2D dispersed image
• extract multiple targets along the slit
• extract local sky spectra along the slit
• re-extract target spectra after sky subtraction on the 2D dispersed image
• re-extract target spectra after interpolation over e.g. bad pixels
• extract spectra from multiple frames in Batch Mode
