Iris How-to Guide


The Iris How-to Guide serves as a roadmap for navigating the Iris SED analysis tool. It provides instructions for downloading, installing, and running the Iris application; describes the individual features and capabilities of Iris; and ties it all together in an example SED analysis session.

*** NEW ***
The Preset Components found in the Fitting Tool Component Selection list now have tooltips describing each model.
