Michael Murphy's Projects
Supplementary code and data for constraining variations in the fine-structure constant between solar twin stars (Murphy et al. 2022, submitted)
Quasar spectra and absorption profile fits associated with Murphy & Cooksey (2017, MNRAS, accepted)
Quasar spectra and absorption profile fits associated with Murphy, Malec & Prochaska (2016, MNRAS, accepted, doi:10.1093/mnras/stw1482)
VLT/ESPRESSO spectra of HE0515-4414 and absorption profile fits associated with Murphy et al. (2021, A&A, submitted)
Fortran code for interactively identifying absorption systems in a quasar spectrum
Version of the HIRES REDUX code released by J. Xavier Prochaska. Modifications are by the Quasar Group at Swinburne University of Technology, mainly with the aim of improving the wavelength calibration with minimal work after an initial "normal" reduction run
Laboratory atomic data for fitting quasar absorption line spectra with the "Many Multiplet" method for constraining cosmological variations in the fine-structure constant
Here we provide the code we used in our analysis (Murphy, M.T, Bernet, M.L., 2015, MNRAS, submitted) to test for a dust bias. This code is an implementation of the SDSS QSO selection algorithm as outlined in Richards G. T. et al., 2002, AJ, 123, 2945
Spectrum PLOT: Plot multiple spectra, particularly the data chunk output of the program findabs
Sort ESO/VLT UVES exposures based on header-card values and write out reduction scripts (for the MIDAS and CPL pipelines).
UVES POst PipeLine Echelle Reduction (UVES_popler): For combining multiple echelle spectroscopy exposures into a single spectrum
First data release of the UVES Spectral Quasar Absorption Database (SQUAD)
