Abstract :
[en] Recent technological progress in high-contrast imaging has allowed the spectral characterization of directly imaged giant planet and brown dwarf companions at ever shorter angular separation from their host stars, hence opening a new avenue to study their formation, evolution, and composition. In this context, special is a Python package that was developed to provide the tools to analyse the low- to medium-resolution optical/IR spectra of these directly imaged low-mass companions.
