Abstract

The removal of absorption features due to Earth’s atmosphere is a fundamental and delicate process in the reduction of spectroscopic observations, in particular in the near- and mid-infrared. In this paper we present the new graphical user interface of Molecfit, a package that aims to model the full atmospheric transmission by fitting key absorption features in spectra.
