[ascl:2507.015] nGIST: The new Galaxy Integral-field Spectroscopy Tool
nGIST (new Galaxy Integral-field Spectroscopy Tool) analyzes modern galaxy integral field spectroscopic (IFS) data. Borne out of the need for a robust but flexible analysis pipeline for an influx of MUSE and other galaxy IFS data, the code is the continuation of the archived GIST pipeline (ascl:1907.025). It improves memory and parallelization management and deals better with longer optical wavelength ranges and sky residuals that are particularly problematic at redder wavelengths (>7000 Angstrom). Performance improvements include memory and parallelization optimization, and smaller and more convenient output files. nGIST can create continuum-only cubes and offers better handling of cube variance and better bias estimation for stellar kinematics, and includes a pPXF-based emission line fitter and an updated version of Mapviewer for a quick-look interface to view results.
