This package fits HST/COS data on the QUEST quasars, as described in Veilleux et al. 2021. It wraps the absorption-line fitter in IFSFIT to perform the fitting of NV and OVI ultraviolet lines. It also produces the plots that appear in this paper.
There is one Python script, as well, that is used to perform regressions on xy data that is censored on both axes.
IDL v8.0 or higher (tested with v8.3)
IDL libraries:
- IDL Astronomy User's Library http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov
- Coyote Graphics Library https://github.com/idl-coyote/coyote
Note that the IDL Astronomy User's Library ships with some Coyote routines.
