Welcome to Keeping the BEAT’s documentation!

The Bayesian Evidence Analysis Tool (BEAT) is a Python-based code for measuring and dissecting multi-component emission lines frequently observed in active galactic nuclei (AGN) exhibiting outflowing winds. BEAT was designed to analyze large numbers of spectra (i.e. large surveys or IFU spectroscopy) automatically and determine the number of physical kinematic components in a given set of emission lines.
