First tutorial in specutils series

1

Part 1 of a specutils tutorial series **How to Load, Plot, and Smooth an Optical Spectrum from SDSS** Ready for review. This is in response to Issue #440

Review the content and provide updates that are relevant for an undergraduate audience. * [Astronomical Coordinates 1](https://learn.astropy.org/tutorials/1-Coordinates-Intro.html) - SS (primary), CZ, LL * [Astronomical Coordinates 2](https://learn.astropy.org/tutorials/2-Coordinates-Transforms.html) - CZ (primary), LL...

We will check that all tutorials follow the standard template in the [Contributing documentation](https://learn.astropy.org/contributing/how-to-contribute) * Does the header conform to the template? If not, modify it. * Does the tutorial...

This summer we will check that each tutorial currently available on the Learn Astropy website works in the latest version of Astropy. Use this issue as a check-list and report...

See Issue #26 in the learn-astropy repo: https://github.com/astropy/learn-astropy/issues/26 I should have put that issue in this repo, but oh well. There is sufficient discussion in that thread so I want...

Loading and fitting a line in an SDSS spectrum with specutils

1

I produced two notebooks from the Astropy Spectroscopy Sprint (April 6 - 10) that are ready for review. When we are happy with them, I'll submit a pull request. Part...

Using specutils to fit for redshift with a template model

1

I started a [tutorial for fitting an SDSS spectrum with a quasar template](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cOPKSH3ED_0fokcf07yPj2t2mqYwtnrP/view?usp=sharing), and searching for the best fit redshift. However, I'm running into technical problems. It's possible that this...

Also don't forget to update Contributing.rst with a link to the Google form

Change Contributing.rst to include directions for uploading large data files

1

The Contributing.rst documents describe how to download files from data.astropy.org but not how to upload them to the repo. It took me a few minutes to find the approporiate repo:...
