Iris v2.1 Released

  • Created SED Stacker, a tool for statistically combining groups of SEDs.
  • Added capability to integrate under fitted model components from the Science Tool.
  • Upgraded to Sherpa 4.7. This allows users to arbitrarily combine template libraries and table models with other libraries, models, and functions in the Model Expression in the Fitting Tool.
  • SEDs can now be saved in ASCII format. The ASCII file may be read directly back into Iris.

Please read the Release Notes for a full list of bug fixes and enhancements.

CAVEAT: Supported SED Data Types

In light of recent helpdesk tickets, we want to fully inform our users that Iris is best suited for broad-band photometric SED analysis. It does provide support for short spectroscopic segments (<~1000 points), but larger segments will take a long time to display and analyze. We are evaluating support for larger spectra in future releases. For more information, please see the FAQs.
