Next steps to explore the simplified isochrone fitting code

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"
