Welcome to ORB documentation !

ORB is the kernel module for the whole suite of data reduction and analysis tools for SpIOMM and SITELLE: ORBS, ORCS, OACS, ORUS and IRIS.

SpIOMM (Spectromètre Imageur de l’Observatoire du Mont Mégantic) is an astronomical instrument operating at Mont Mégantic (Québec, CANADA) designed to obtain the visible spectra of all the objects in a 12 arc minutes field of view.

SITELLE (Spectromètre-Imageur pour l’Étude en Long et en Large des raie d’Émissions) is a larger version of SpIOMM operating at the CFHT (Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, Hawaii, USA). See http://www.cfht.hawaii.edu/Instruments/Sitelle
