check_spectrum_plottableFunction to check if a spectrum is plottable
Relevant functions: spectra.ingest_spectrum, spectra.spectrum_plottable, spectra.find_spectra
If the spectrum provided has been modified from the author-provided one, a link to the original spectrum can be provided in the original_spectrum column.
The local_spectrum is meant to store the path to a local copy of the spectrum with an environment variable to define part of the path (so it can be shared among other users). For example: $ASTRODB_SPECTRA/infrared/filename.fits
Notes#
An accurate observation date is required for a spectrum to be ingested.
Data based on data from multiple observation dates has ‘Multiple observation dates’ indicated in the comments field. One of the dates should be used for the observation_date.
Spectra for companions should be associated with individual sources and not grouped with the primary source.
