Chosing among a collection of models (internal or supplied by the users), BESTFIT computes

the spectral model that better fits the input photometric data. BESTFIT also predicts the

expected flux in a users-selected photometric filter (or at a given wavelength). This can be
10

useful in all those cases in which a rough photometrical calibration of the fluxes in a given
11

band is needed or when the user wants to check the photometric calibration in a given band.

+ The parameters and filters files look similar to those used by the hyperz software (Bolzonella+2000).
13
+ This should make the use easier for people that previously used hyperz.
