Welcome to the igmspec repository. The igmspec database is intended to provide all publicly available spectra that probe the intergalactic medium (IGM). Parties interested in accessing and interfacing with the database should see the primary publication: http://coming_to_arxiv.soon Further documentation is available at readthedocs: http://specdb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/igmspec.html

This repository has two main purposes:

1. Provide additional descriptions of the datasets ingested into the igmspec database.

2. Maintain the software required to build the database.

It is rather unlikely that you will want or need to clone this repository.
