population fitting #78

Open mkounkel opened 5 years ago

This package works beautifully on individual objects, but I am not entirely sure if there is a capability of fitting let's say a few dozen or a few hundred stars simultaneously as part of a same cluster? There are tutorials with two stars, but they ask for a position angle, and they are somewhat confusing to set up, and it doesn't seem like that architecture is feasible to operate on a larger number of sources. I wanted to confirm that there isn't a straightforward way of doing it?

Thanks for writing! Turns out this is, in fact, in the works. Stay tuned for more.

I wanted to advertise our recent work that uses a data-driven model to do estimates of the population properties, in case it may be useful to some - https://github.com/mkounkel/Auriga (based on https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.07261)
