1. Introduction

PÉGASE-HR (Le Borgne et al. 2004) is a code aimed at computing synthetic evolutive optical spectra of galaxies with a very high resolution (R=10 000, or dlambda=0.55) in the range Lambda=[4000, 6800] Angstroms.
PÉGASE-HR is the result of combining  the code PÉGASE.2 with the high-resolution stellar library ÉLODIE. This code can also be used at low resolution (R=200) over the range covered by the BaSeL library (from far UV to the near IR), and then produces the same results as PÉGASE.2.

4. Codes

  1. The PÉGASE-HR package is available for download in two parts:
    - The full package (v1.3) which contains the source code, the low resolution "BASEL" library, and two versions of the ELODIE libraries v3.0 and v3.1, is here (older v1.1 version is also available here). You can view the history of the versions here.
    - The ELODIE grid, necessary to compute high resolution synthetic spectra, is also available in its 3.0 version (corresponding to the Le Borgne et al. 2004 paper) here (150 Mo).
    - A new version of the ELODIE grid (v3.1, see Prugniel et al 2007, astro-ph/703658) extended down to 3900 Angstroms is also available for download here.

    The package comes along with a README file which sometimes refers to PÉGASE.2's readme itself.
    Its compilation is explained in the INSTALL file (it consists in the standard ".configure" and "make" commands) or in the README file.
    It is then possible to compute any synthetic evolutive spectrum with scenarios defined with the same parameters as in PÉGASE.2.


  2. Conversion from FITS to ascii format : the code fitstodat.f included in the package converts a PÉGASE-HR's ".fits" file to a ".dat" ascii file, in the same format as used in PEGASE.2. The information on the Lick indices is lost in the translation.
