I am not able to fit SED data with zero-value uncertainties - why?


When one or multiple SED segments is fit in Iris, any data points with associated zero-value errors are ignored in the fit. This design choice is intended as a safeguard against yielding potentially misleading fit results in the analysis of your SED data. Iris interprets a zero-value error not to mean that the uncertainty on the associated data value is actually zero, but that a measure of the uncertainty is not available for that particular photometric point.
