SNITCH (bayeSian iNference given emIssion and absorpTion features of quenChing Histories) performs Bayesian inference of star formation histories using measured emission and absorption spectral features. The code ingests equivalent widths and spectral indices (e.g., EW[Hα], Dₙ4000, Hβ, Hδₐ, Mg Fe′) and, via a pre-computed look-up table generated with FSPS models, returns posterior estimates of parameters such as metallicity, quenching time and quenching rate. It uses emcee (ascl:1303.002) to explore parameter space, produces diagnostic plots of MCMC walkers and corner plots, and is configurable to suit custom spectral parameter sets and lookup-table ranges. Designed for application to integrated‐light or IFU galaxy spectra, SNITCH enables flexible adaptation for a variety of star‐formation-history studies.

The PROFIT is an IDL routine to do automated fitting of emission-line profiles by Gaussian curves or Gauss-Hermite series optimized for use in Integral Field and Fabry-Perot data cubes. As output PROFIT gives two-dimensional FITS files for the emission-line flux distribution, centroid velocity, velocity dispersion and higher order Gauss-Hermite moments (h3 and h4).
