Abstract

Abstract: We introduce the G alaxy I FU S pectroscopy T ool (GIST), a convenient, all-in-one and multi-purpose tool for the analysis and visualisation of already reduced (integral-field) spectroscopic data. In particular, the pipeline performs all steps from read-in and preparation of data to its scientific analysis and visualisation in publication-quality plots. The code measures stellar kinematics and non-parametric star formation histories using the pPXF routine (Cappellari & Emsellem 2004 ; Cappellari 2017 ), performs an emission-line analysis with the GandALF procedure (Sarzi et al . 2006 ; Falcón-Barroso et al . 2006 ), and determines absorption line-strength indices and their corresponding single stellar population equivalent population properties (Kuntschner et al. 2006 ; Martín-Navarro et al. 2018 ). The dedicated visualisation routine Mapviewer facilitates the access of all data products in a sophisticated graphical user interface with fully interactive plots.
