  • Cosmic Ray Removal
    • Download lacosmic python version and IGRINS script, put in indata directory, modify script variables, run for a night.  Need to upload code somewhere.
  • Data Reduction
    • NOTE: I (Kyle) use a modified version of plp-testing to output 2D variance maps.  Email me if you are interested in that feature.  Needed for error propagation in 2D.

    • Describe basic procedure here, maybe upload example code later
  • Carefully check all lines in line list for contamination
    • Describe procedure here.  This is a time consuming process, may later write code to semi-automate procedure
    • In cases of poor wavelength calibration, add velocity correction to any lines not centered at v = 0 km/s
