摘要
We present EZ (Easy redshift), a tool we have developed within the VVDS project to help in redshift measurement from optical spectra. EZ has been designed with large spectroscopic surveys in mind, and in its development particular care has been given to the reliability of the results obtained in an automatic and unsupervised mode. Nevertheless, the possibility of running it interactively has been preserved, and a graphical user interface for results inspection has been designed. EZ has been successfully used within the VVDS project, as well as the zCosmos one. In this article we describe its architecture and the algorithms used, and evaluate its performances both on simulated and real data. EZ is an open-source program, freely downloadable from the Pandora Web Site.(1)
