choosing SPS modeling priors

[moustakas]

• Schombert & McGaugh (2014) argue that it is important to include SFH and chemical evolution self-consistently when constructing CSP models. In detail, old metal-poor stars tend to counteract the mild age dependence of the near-infrared mass-to-light ratio, and so the mass-to-light ratio ends up being ~constant in the near-infrared (whether K or [3.6]).
