Our mission


We want to promote the understanding of the physics and impact of the Lyman alpha line by collecting spectra from as many samples as possible and analyzing them in a homogeneous way.

Explore

Analyze the data directly

You can search through, analyze and plot the data in the database right from your browser. You can browse through individual spectra as well as examine derived properties.

Upload

Add your own data to the database

You can upload new spectra together with other ancillary measurements to the database. The spectrum is then processed and a bunch of Lyman alpha quantities are measured
