mc_fit_a_spectrum.pro

This is an example of fitting an astronomical spectrum using a Monte Carlo approach and should confirm that the AmesPAHdbIDLSuite has been correctly installed. The source code is annotated to guide users and developers in the inner workings of the suite.

Updated versions of the NASA Ames PAH IR Spectroscopic Database and more information can be found at: www.astrochemistry.org/pahdb.
