Claims
We present prospector, a flexible code for inferring stellar population parameters from photometry and spectroscopy spanning UV through IR wavelengths. This code is based on forward modeling the data and Monte Carlo sampling the posterior parameter distribution, enabling complex models and exploration of moderate dimensional parameter spaces.
That the underlying stellar population synthesis models (including star-formation histories, dust, and nebular emission) are sufficiently realistic and that Monte Carlo sampling can efficiently explore the correlated parameter space without prohibitive computational cost or convergence issues.
Prospector is a flexible code for Bayesian inference of stellar population parameters from multi-wavelength photometry and spectroscopy via forward modeling and posterior sampling.
