Icochrone fitting (todo list)

 Next steps to explore the simplified isochrone fitting code


Code

Lives here: https://github.com/HWRix/stellarAges

To-Dos

Code changes / updates / tests

  • use finer grids at <1 Gyrs
  • understand whether the original Teff really needs to be modified, and why
  • understand why the isochrones > 13 Gyrs give "funny" results
  • the CMD distribution of stars identified as 8 < logAge < 8.5 looks funny
  • I set a floor to the precision of the photometry; was that bad?
  • conceptually, we still need to work out how to make all this "mass weighted"
  • consider ingesting a prior on each star's extinction

Diagnostic plots

  • look at the CMD distribution of stars in a grid of (FE_H and fitlogAge); what looks OK?
  • look at the "tensions" between input and output: are there systematic differences between the input FeH, Teff, G and the best fit predictions of the isochrones?  
    Note: this requires that we also calculate the likelihood-weighted mean of the isochrone predictions, not only of the isochrone's "physical parameters"
