... Solar is a companion program that reads a line list from the Moore Tables of the Rowland Atlas of the Sun and creates a spectrum based on the wavelength and equivalent width of the tabulated features. ... The distribution contains the original source code for Colorspec and Solar in C, a version of Solar written in Fortran, the NSO solar flux atlas in a format suitable for use with Colorspec, the Moore Tables, and a few sample spectra.

... There are two main tasks in the package, XCSAO and EMSAO. XCSAO cross­correlates the Fourier transform of an object's spectrum against the transforms of a set of template spectra with known spectral shifts to obtain a velocity and error. EMSAO finds emission lines in a spectrum and computes the observed centers, getting individual shifts and errors for each line as well as a single velocity combining all of the lines. ... It combines spectra, shifting them to a common redshift. ...

... Kinematics and stellar population properties in the center of nearby Sbc galaxy NGC 5055 are studied with the Multi­Pupil Spectrograph of the 6 m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of Russian Academy of Sciences (SAO RAS). ... We have found a resolved chemically distinct core in NGC 5055, with the magnesium­enhanced region shifted by 2. ## 5 (100 pc) to the south­west from a photometric center, toward a kinematically identified circumnuclear stellar disk. ... 22 ± 6 Ionized gas 1. ...
