This repository includes the first version of `MADYS`: the Manifold Age Determination for Young Stars, a flexible Python tool for age and mass determination of young stellar and substellar objects.
In this first release, `MADYS` automatically retrieves and cross-matches photometry from several catalogs, estimates interstellar extinction, and derives age and mass estimates for individual objects through isochronal fitting.
Harmonising the heterogeneity of publicly-available isochrone grids, the tool allows to choose amongst several models, many of which with customisable astrophysical parameters
Note that, since this is an alpha version, it only includes a sub-set of isochrones.
The full set, including 16 models with more than 100 isochrone grids, will be included the first full release, expected for July 2022.
Several dedicated plotting function are provided to allow a visual perception of the numerical output.
