Can you try setting mstar_err=0. (or any other float) in AnalysisTools.extract_companions? It seems like you have entered a dictionary there.

[strampelligiovanni]

So I think I solved this problem,

In the extract_companions you allow for a dictionary to be parsed, and define mstar_err_temp as:

 if isinstance(mstar_err, dict):
      mstar_err_temp = mstar_err[filt]
 else:
      mstar_err_temp = mstar_err

but later on in the the tab.add_row, mstar_err is parsed instead of mstar_err_temp (In both istances). I changed mstar_err with mstar_err_temp and now it works.
