Profiles in Demetra can be saved as DAT files. How do I open those DATR files?

Problem With Demetra Output

Hi,

Making Some Progress With Demetra

V545 Lyr Spectrum- a RRM Star

Hi, I have just in the past few days started using the Alpy 600 with the guiding and calibration module. One of the first spectra that I obtained was 'V545 Lyr'-a Rigidly Rotating Magnetosphere. As I understand it, it is a Be star where the circumstellar disk is magnetically locked into the star sur...
