Bug found in high-z version of the fitting code

By
There was a bug on the fitting code of the MAGPHYS-HIGHZ package (fit_sed_highz.f), related to the way it deals with fluxes ~ 0 in the model SEDs at high-z where some filters sample the SED bluewards of the Lyman break. Thanks to M. Maseda for finding the bug!

The bug has been fixed and you can get the corrected version of the code on the main site (please go to Download and look under MAGPHYS high-z extension).

Welcome to the new MAGPHYS blog!

MAGPHYS is a spectral energy distribution code that allows the user to derive key physical properties of galaxies from their ultraviolet-to-radio observations. The code continues to be maintained on the main MAGPHYS site , and you can find more information about the spectral energy distribution modelling here  (2008 MNRAS article describing the original model) and here (2015 ApJ article describing the high-z extension). This blog is maintained by Elisabete da Cunha and was created to update users on code upgrades, bug fixes, etc., as well as to provide a platform for the user community to leave comments and questions and for users to interact with each other. The blog also serves as a repository for the answers to common user questions (see FAQs ).
