The Tartu Observatory Fiber-fed Echelle Spectrograph (TOFES) Data Reduction Pipeline

We introduce the data reduction pipeline for the Tartu Observatory Fiber-fed Echelle Spectrograph (TOFES). TOFES is installed in the Coudé room and will be connected to the 1.5 m Tartu Observatory AZT-12 telescope through a four-channel instrument adapter to be mounted at the Cassegrain focus of the telescope. The spectrograph has an average spectral resolution of ∼30,000 and covers the 390–900 nm wavelength band in a single exposure. The data reduction pipeline, based on the PyReduce package, was tested on spectra of the Sun. We also present the Spectroscopy-Toolbox package, which was developed to provide additional tools for diagnostics and spectral line identification for radial velocity measurements. The spectrograph will address a range of scientific questions, including the stellar characterisation of Herbig Ae/Be stars to measure accretion contamination from their protoplanetary disks, the stellar characterisation of exoplanet host-stars including the Ariel space mission targets, and radial velocity monitoring of large-scale atmospheric variability in massive stars.
