This repository -- so-called impro -- contains an assortment of routines written in IDL for reducing and analyzing multiwavelength imaging and spectroscopy that may prove useful to other astronomers, especially observers. The repository includes iSEDfit, a fully developed Bayesian spectral energy distribution fitting code, and routines for inferring the physical conditions (metallicity, temperature, dust content, etc.) in star-forming regions based on their optical emission-line strengths, among many other self-contained pieces of code. See also my IDL webpage for updates, documentation, and more details on what is available.

Download the latest version of the repository using subversion:

svn co http://idl-moustakas.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/impro

and add an ${IMPRO_DIR} environment variable to your appropriate startup file. For example, if you use tcsh, add the following line to your .tcshrc file: "setenv IMPRO_DIR /path/to/impro". Finally, add the 'pro' subdirectory to your IDL path, e.g., "setenv IDL_PATH $IDL_PATH{:}+/path/to/impro/pro"

As usual, the code is provided as-is, with no guarantee of accuracy or success. However, if you are interested in contributing actively to impro send me a note!
