BD Fitter

This python package is for fitting brown dwarf (substellar mass object) photometry. It currently supports the Sonora Bobcat, Cholla, Diamondback and Elf Owl models, and the LOW-Z models. Photometry for a range of filters is provided, and if more are needed the models are automatically downloaded from Zenodo/Harvard DataVerse if not found in directory code is run in.

Model links:

Sonora Bobcat (Paper)

Sonora Cholla (Paper)

Sonora Diamondback (Paper)

Sonora Elf Owl (Y-Type, T-Type, L-Type, Paper)

LOWZ (Paper)

Please cite all fitted model papers and repositories DOIs if you use this code.

Installation

Clone this repository into a folder, and then do pip install . to install.

An example of use is available in examples/chi2_testing.ipynb. All the user needs to provide is an array of flux and flux uncertainity, and a list of bands (in SVO filter format, or abbreviated will work if HST/NIRcam filters).

Code is still a work in progress. Contact the author at: [email protected] for help, improvements, problems, bugs, complaints etc...
