text:   Formation and Metallicity Histories",8,"['New Paper Time! My supervisor Aaron Robotham @ICRAR wrote a new spectral energy distribution fitting tool called ProSpect and the paper has just been put on the #astroph #arXiv!  see: <LINK> (with @CDPLagos @SabineBellstedt @astrowelshluke) <LINK>', 'ProSpect combines stellar models, dust models, and an AGN model to allow for the generation of spectral energy distributions and the recovery of star formation and metallicity histories of galaxies. Here is a graphic I made for the paper showing how we model galaxy components! https://t.co/HIXv3uTW7X', 'ProSpect allows the user to pick almost any reasonable star formation history to fit for including parametric and non-parametric options. Here are just a few of the options provided, but the user is also able to provide their own. https://t.co/uwsKeN4rgH', 'ProSpect also includes the ability to model an evolving metallicity using a number of different models. This allows for more thorough modeling of the evolution of galaxies! https://t.co/U6yfHguRPR', 'What is really cool is that we can take star formation histories from semi-analytic models such as SHARK (@CDPLagos) and calculate their spectral energy distributions, then re-fit them using ProSpect to test whether we can re-create star formation histories. The answer is yes! https://t.co/SJy1kSQ9Wb', ""Overall, ProSpect is able to extract similar stellar masses and star formation rates to those extracted from MAGPHYS! This means that we're not significantly biased in our recovery of stellar masses! https://t.co/WAV4RhKdNZ"", ""There's heaps of exciting science to be done with ProSpect which will form the basis of the next three years of my PhD so watch this space!"", '@astro_jje It is!']",20,02,1599
