Context. An increasing number of high-resolution stellar spectra is available today thanks to many past and ongoing extensive spectroscopic surveys. Consequently, the scientific community needs automatic procedures to derive atmospheric parameters and individual element abundances. Aims. Based on the widely known SPECTRUM code by R. O. Gray, we developed an integrated spectroscopic software framework suitable for the determination of atmospheric parameters (i.e., effective temperature, surface gravity, metallicity) and individual chemical abundances. The code, named iSpec and freely distributed, is written mainly in Python and can be used on different platforms. Methods. iSpec can derive atmospheric parameters by using the synthetic spectral fitting technique and the equivalent width method. We validated the performance of both approaches by developing two different pipelines and analyzing the Gaia FGK benchmark stars spectral library. The analysis was complemented with several tests designed to assess other aspects, such as the interpolation of model atmospheres and the performance with lower quality spectra. Results. We provide a code ready to perform automatic stellar spectral analysis. We successfully assessed the results obtained for FGK stars with high-resolution and high signal-to-noise spectra.

  1. Observational Signatures and Constraints on the Intermediate Neutron-Capture Process. The Case of the CEMP star TYC 6044-714-1 (RAVE J094921.8-161722)

    astro-ph.SR 2026-05 conditional novelty 5.0

    Abundances and Ba isotopic ratios in TYC 6044-714-1 are best reproduced by s+r nucleosynthesis models; i+s+r models require extreme conditions and fail to match the full pattern.

  2. Constraints on Binarity for the Extreme Oe Variable Star AzV 493

    astro-ph.SR 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Chandra and spectroscopic observations of AzV 493 produce an X-ray luminosity upper limit of <2.5e33 erg/s and inconclusive RV variations, leaving binarity unconfirmed.

  3. On the stellar parameter dependence of the combined Fe I and Fe II chromospheric emission-line in the wings of the Ca II K line

    astro-ph.SR 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Observational analysis of 21 giant stars shows Fe I+Fe II blend emission proportional to Ca II K with matching Teff power-law exponent and a slope break in the flux ratio at log g ≈ 2.5.

  4. gr8stars II : judgement day for spectroscopic parameter model systematics

    astro-ph.SR 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Multi-method spectroscopic analysis of 585 FGK dwarfs shows parameter scatters larger than internal errors, inducing sub-5% fractional uncertainties on derived exoplanet radius and mass.

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Three new hot Jupiters (periods 1.8-4 days, radii 1.22-1.58 RJup, masses 0.36-0.87 MJup) around evolved stars aged 4-9 Gyr, extending the sample for hot Jupiter evolutionary studies.

    astro-ph.SR 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    High-precision analysis of TYC 6044-714-1 favors s+r nucleosynthesis over i-process models, which require implausible conditions and mismatch Ba isotopes.

    astro-ph.SR 2026-05 conditional novelty 4.0

    High-precision abundances and Ba isotopic ratios in TYC 6044-714-1 favor an s+r nucleosynthesis scenario over i-process models, which require implausible conditions and mismatch isotopic data.
