Concerning the bolometric corrections #180

Hi,

I believe that the definition or links to the names of bandpasses in isochrones is in the file: envs/isochrones/lib/python3.10/site-packages/isochrones/mist/bc.py And that it includes UBVRIplus, WISE, CFHT, DECam, GALEX, JWST/NIRCam, LSST, Pan-STARRS1, Skymapper, Spitzer, UKIDDS, SDSS. Is there a straightforward way to add bandpasses, especially given that the MIST database has updated its own bolometric correction tables? In the news & updates at the top here: https://waps.cfa.harvard.edu/MIST/ Aaron Dotter wrote on the MIST website that they have added bolometric corrections for S-plus, IPHAS, etc. The UBVRIplus file also includes DR3 magnitudes, which are not included in isochrones.

Thank you, David
