Will my ideas to create things in a certain way reflect in my code or not? What would I do if I spent too much time working on the wrong appr ...READ MORE...
What I completed this last week: Nearly finished the empirical spectrum -> synthetic photometry tutorial for a high H-alpha emission galaxy. This example can be seen here. As you can see from the 1-1 plot at the end of the tutorial, the predicted photometry does not perform as well compared to the 1 ...READ MORE...
