# LOTUS
_LOTUS_ (non-LTE Optimization Tool Utilized for the derivation of atmospheric
Stellar parameters) is a python package for the derivation of stellar parameters via _Equivalent Width (EW)_ method with the assumption of
**1D Non Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium**. It mainly applies on the spectroscopic
data from high resolution spectral survey. It can provide extremely accurate
measurement of stellar parameters compared with non-spectroscipic analysis from
benchmark stars.

## Installation

The quickest way to get started is to use [pip](https://pip.pypa.io):

```bash
python -m pip install lotus-nlte==0.1.1
```
Notice that _LOTUS_ requires Python 3.7.*. You might create an independent environment to run this code.

## Usage

Check out the user guides and tutorial docs on [the docs
page](https://lotus-nlte.readthedocs.io) for details.
