Hi,

I am using splot to fit doppler shift in absorption lines that are very weak, so I would like to take advantage of the 'single' option in the deblending routine.
However, my lines are separated by ~150 nm so Delta(lambda) can vary quite a lot between different lines given that the redshift z = Delta(lambda)/lambda should be the same.

Is the a reason why the routine tries to fit a constant delta(lambda) instead of a constant redshift? Is there a workaround to this?

Thanks!

I don't know if there's a reason other than it is simpler to do, however if you rebin the spectrum (e.g. with DISPCOR) to a log-linear scale then delta-lamda will be constant across the spectrum.
