IDL based SED fitting code for stellar templates

BESTFIT is an IDL based function developed to fit photometric data using a collection of
6-
template models of star spectra. The method used is based on the χ 2 minimization technique.

Chosing among a collection of models (internal or supplied by the users), BESTFIT computes
88
the spectral model that better fits the input photometric data. BESTFIT also predicts the
99
expected flux in a users-selected photometric filter (or at a given wavelength). This can be
1010
useful in all those cases in which a rough photometrical calibration of the fluxes in a given
1111
band is needed or when the user wants to check the photometric calibration in a given band.
12+
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.
