Fitting H2 1-0 S(1) line in NIR data cube

# load the cube as a pyspeckit Cube
# I usually get an error here if cube.fits' header doesn't have 'CTYPE3' = 'WAVE'
cube = pyspeckit.Cube('cube.fits')

# Slice the cube over the wavelength range you'd like to fit
cube_h2 = cube.slice(21145,21250,unit='Angstrom')

# I add an offset to avoid negative values

### The following command is just for setup!  The actual fitting occurs below. ###
# Here I'm fitting two gaussians with 4 parameters each (background offset,
# amplitude, wavelength centroid, linewidth).
# I find that if I let both backgrounds be free parameters, pyspeckit returns
# unrealistic values for both backgrounds, so I fix the 2nd gaussian's background
# level to 0.  The actual command to fix the parameter comes in the fiteach call.

# Get ready for the interactive plots that come up after fiteach finishes
cube_h2.mapplot.makeplane(estimator=np.nansum)

# For my cube.fits, (21145,21195) covers a part of the spectrum that is free of
# spectral lines.  The std variable will be used to estimate the S/N of a line
# during fiteach.

#### Here's where all the fitting happens.
## With the "parlimited" and "parlimits" keywords, I have restricted
## the range for the wavelength centroid and linewidth parameters.
## With the "fixed" keyword, I have held the 2nd gaussian's background level
## to zero, and the "signal_cut" keyword rejects fits for voxels below a
## user-specified S/N threshold.
