ROHSA

ROHSA (Regularized Optimization for Hyper-Spectral Analysis) was developped by the Hyperstars collaboration at Paris-Saclay University (IAS/CEA) to study the statistical properties of interstellar gas through atomic and molecular lines.

This code is a Gaussian decomposition algorithm designed to decompose any kind of hyper-spectral observations into a sum of coherent Gaussian. It is written in Fortran 90 and can be run on a single CPU. A user-friendly ROHSApy python interface can be used to run the code easily.

Getting started

A google colab notebook is available here! It shows how to install, compile, run and read ROHSA's output.

Please note that if you do not use ROHSA to separate the phases of the 21 cm line (ex:CO, Lym-alpha, dust..), the hyper-parameters lambda_var_sig should be set to 0.
