The biggest update in this release is the addition of the populations submodule (thanks to the request by and collaboration of @andersdot), which streamlines simulating observed populations of stars (see docs).
Other minor updates:
- An update to the Gaia bandpasses from https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.02820 (thanks @segasai)
- Updated summary.py (used in
starfit-summarize) to useBasicStarModelobjects. - Fixed a bug with
.generate()method that would cause it to hang indefinitely if given an out-of-bounds parameter. - Enabled pre-packaged priors (e.g.,
SalpeterPrior,ChabrierPrior,AVPrior) to receive custom bounds. - Refactored logging (thanks @dfm)
- Enabled
.generate()to take anall_Askeyword argument, which if true creates columns with specific extinctions in each band (to allow, e.g., for de-reddening a simulated population of stars).
