HPF-SpecMatch: spectral matching algorithm

Welcome to the HPF-SpecMatch documentation, a tool to derive precise stellar parameter estimates by comparing target spectra to a library of as-observed HPF spectra with well-characterized stellar parameters.

The parameters of interest HPF-SpecMatch derives are effective temperature (Teff), metallicity ([Fe/H]), surface gravity (log g), and projected rotational velocity (v sin i).
