The Manifold Age Determination for Young Stars (MADYS)

Thanks to Gaia, the study of young stars has gained new impetus:
both as members of comoving star-forming regions, and as targets amenable to planet-hunting direct-imaging observations.
(Sub)stellar parameters are usually obtained by comparison with (sub)stellar evolutionary models, i.e. via isochronal fitting.
However, a zoo of such models exist, and there is still no unified framework allowing a omparison of the obtained physical parameters.
To this aim, I developed MADYS, a Python tool for age and mass determination of young stellar and substellar objects. At the moment of writing, MADYS features 16 models, many of which with customizable astrophysical parameters, for a total of ∼ 120 isochrone grids.

Main features of MADYS

• Automatic SQL-based queries and cross-matches of large catalogs such as Gaia DR2/DR3, 2MASS, AllWISE, PanSTARRS;
• Estimation of interstellar extinction via integration of galactic 3D extinction maps;
• Isochronal estimate of age, mass, radius, Teff, logL, logg for individual stellar or substellar objects based on the available photometric information;
• More than 200 filters available, including those of the James Webb Space Telescope;
• Largest collection of evolutionary models to date, allowing a direct comparison of different predictions;
• Large availability of plotting functions for a visual perception of the numerical output;
• Archival work: plenty of information available about model parameters and photometric filters.
