Available Model Packages¶
Below you will find links to existing model packages that can be downloaded.
Robitaille et al. (2006) YSO SED Models¶
These are models that were published in Robitaille et al. (2006).
Important
Please read this disclaimer before downloading the models!
You are responsible for reading about the models and ensuring that you understand all the limitations inherent to YSO SED models in general, and this specific set of models. A number of caveats related to the models are listed in Section 2.2.4 of Robitaille et al. (2006) and a number of more general limitations are also discussed in Robitaille (2008).
In particular, it is very important to not over-interpret results carried
out by fitting these models. The models are simple axisymmetric 2-D models,
which are likely only a very rough approximation of reality, and the models
should only be used accordingly. The 
value is thus not
meaningful in the traditional statistical sense of being linked to a
well-defined probability. The models also include strong correlations
between parameters due to the way the parameters were sampled (this is
described in more detail in the two publications linked above) and can
therefore not be reliably used to search for real trends in datasets.
An example of a study using the models in the way they were intended (as rough probes of evolutionary stage), see Forbrich et al. (2010). In addition, an example of a study of the reliability of SED modeling for protostars with these models is presented in Offner et al. (2012).

Note
the default parameters.fits file contained in the above model
package does not include the envelope mass. If you are interested
in this parameter, you will need to download
this
file, decompress it, then put it inside the models_r06
directory and make sure it is named parameters.fits.
Castelli & Kurucz (2004) stellar photosphere models¶
These are the Castelli and Kurucz (2004) models downloaded from here and bundled into the model package format as a convenience.
Important
Please read this disclaimer before downloading the models!
These models are provided as a convenience, and no warranty is made on the accuracy of the models or of the conversion into model package format. It is your responsability to ensure that you understand the models and their limitations.
