BEAST

The Bayesian Extinction and Stellar Tool (BEAST) fits the ultraviolet to near-infrared photometric SEDs of stars to extract stellar and dust extinction parameters. The stellar parameters are age (t), mass (M), and metallicity (M). The dust extinction parameters are dust column (Av), average grain size (Rv), and mixing between type A and B extinction curves (fA).

The full details of the BEAST are provide by Gordon et al. (2016, ApJ, 826, 104). <http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016ApJ…826..104G>
