- Abstract
PRESTALINE is a package allowing a user to simulate and analyse spectra of various astrophysical objects. The package is based on the numerical models PRESTA (Kochina & Wiebe (2017)) and RADEX (van der Tak et al. (2007)). PRESTALINE provides the direct comparison of theoretical models with observations and allows estimating physical conditions in a studied object, such as kinetic temperature and chemical composition. Here we present the results of applying PRESTALINE to the test object DR21(OH) and discuss possible applications and future extensions of the project.
