Available classes

In its current form, MADYS comprises six classes which serve different purposes:

• SampleObject: it allows one to create a catalog of objects will full astrometric, kinematic and photometric information. See here;

• ModelHandler: handles data and metadata of local isochrone files, allowing one to inspect the locally available models and to download new ones. See here;

• IsochroneGrid: builds and handles the isochronal grid used for parameter determination. Usually not be called directly;

• FitParams: stores the result of an isochronal analysis performed upon a SampleObject instance. See here;

• CurveObject: enables the conversion of a contrast curve (i.e., detection limits) from a direct imaging survey into a mass limit curve. Superseded by DetectionMap;

• DetectionMap: enables the conversion of a contrast curve (i.e., detection limits) from a direct imaging survey into a mass limit curve and a compleness (i.e., detection probability) map. Supersedes CurveObject. See here.
