Analysis tools for non-radially pulsating objects

At the University of Canterbury we have been developing a set of tools for the analysis of spectra of varying types of non-radially pulsating objects. This set currently includes: calculation of the moments, calculations of the phase across the profile as well as basic binary profile fitting for determination of orbital characteristics and projected rotational velocity (v sin i ) measurement. Recently the ability to calculate cross-correlation profiles using either specified or synthesized line lists has been added, all implemented in MATLAB. A number of observations of γ Doradus candidates is currently being used to test these tools. For information on our observing facilities see Pollard et al. (2007).
