The new galaxy integral-field spectroscopy tool (nGIST) is a pipeline for the analysis of modern galaxy integral field spectroscopic (IFS) data. Borne out of the need for a robust but flexible analysis pipeline for an influx of MUSE and other galaxy IFS data, nGIST is the continuation of the archived GIST pipeline (Bittner+2019). nGIST improves memory and parallelisation management and deals better with longer optical wavelength ranges and sky residuals that are particularly problematic at redder wavelengths (>7000 Angstrom).

Notable performance improvements include memory and parallelisation optimisation, and smaller and more convenient output files. Science improvements are ongoing, but include an an additional module to create continuum-only cubes, better handling of cube variance, better bias estimation for stellar kinematics, and additional routines for some modules, including a pPXF-based emission line fitter. 2D maps of derived stellar and ionised gas output products are now provided as standard. nGIST input is a single, human-readable configuration file where the user can specify over 40 input parameters. An updated version of Mapviewer is included in the distribution for a quick-look interface to view results.
