Description

Hi,
I need to use WISE data in the SED fitting and I do not know how to add it.
I am not familiar with phyton, I am just trying to learn it to use the sedfitter tool.
Up to now I found out that I have to add

f=Filter()
f.name=WISE1
f.central_wavelength =3.3526 * u.micron

to add the filter response I just found a txt file
http://wise2.ipac.caltech.edu/docs/release/prelim/expsup/figures/RSR-W1.txt

should I use it? if yes, how ?
I’d appreciate any help!
thanks!
Silvina

Research direction

Start by locating the sedfitter filter API represented by Filter() and inspect how filter response data is loaded. Review the WISE1 central wavelength and the linked RSR-W1.txt file, then determine what changes or usage instructions are needed for WISE data to work in SED fitting.
