SPEARS: A Database-Invariant Spectral modeling API
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
The Spectral Physics Environment for Advanced Remote Sensing (SPEARS) application programming interface (API) is a Python-based, line-by-line, local thermal equilibrium (LTE) spectral modeling code which is optimized for simultaneously synthesizing optical spectra from any combination of fundamental spectroscopic databases. In this article, we contribute two novel spectral modeling techniques to the scientific literature. First we describe how SPEARS integrates a physics-based collisional model for calculating pressure broadening in the absence of available broadening coefficients. With this collisional model implementation, a generalized approach to fundamental spectroscopic databases can be achieved across multiple databases. We also detail our adaptive grid mesh algorithm developed to make the code scalable for simulating large spectral bandwidths at high spectral fidelity using intuitive grid parameters. Here, we present comparisons to other modeling tools, experiments, and provide a discussion on the SPEARS user interface.
