Left: SED fit from FastSpecFit, combining Legacy Survey and WISE photometry with DESI spectra. The lower panel shows the stellar population model spectrum, with key emission lines labeled. Right: Gaussian fits to individual spectral features used to measure line properties. The dark curve shows the best-fit model, while the faint lines represent the DESI data.
