Description : Automated Line Fitting Algorithm
ALFA measures the fluxes of emission lines in astronomical spectra. It is fully automated and takes a few seconds to measure a spectrum containing hundreds of emission lines. It uses a genetic algorithm to optimise the fit parameters. It can also directly read FITS data cubes, making it particularly useful for spatially resolved spectroscopy.
The code is maintained by me, is under active development, and is already packaged and available via PPA at https://launchpad.net/~nebulousresearch/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
