SP_ACE computes stellar parameters (gravity, temperature) and element
abundances from optical stellar spectra (`sample spectrum`_).  It employs
1D stellar atmosphere models in Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (LTE).

The present service does not offer all the options available for SP_Ace
as documented in `the tutorial`_.  All options are available if running
SP_Ace locally (cf. `download page`_).

This service exposes an updated version containing some bug fixes with
respect to the one described in the paper.

Purpose of the upload: ASCII file with two columns: wavelength (in Angstrom) and continuum normalized flux. The spectrum must be radial velocity corrected (wavelengths in rest frame). The spectral resolution power should be between 2000 and 20000. SP_Ace handles spectra in the stellar parameters intervals Teff=[3600,7400]K, logg=[0.2,5.0], [M/H]=[-2.4,0.4]dex.</description><dataType arraysize="*" xsi:type="vs:SimpleDataType">char</dataType></param><param std="false"><name>fwhm</name><description>Starting value for estimation of FWHM of the instrument line profile.</description><unit>Angstrom</unit><ucd>spect.line.width;instr</ucd><dataType xsi:type="vs:SimpleDataType">real</dataType></param><param std="false"><name>wave_lims</name><description>Give up to five wavelength intervals you want to analyze, starting from the lowest.
