-Derives posterior distributions for stellar parameters through direct intregration of isochrones, given any set of observables (photometry, spectroscopy, parallax, asteroseismology) and priors. Can fit for extinction or use reddening map, includes (optionally) a correction to the Dnu scaling relation corrections by Sharma et al. (2016). <br />

 ##Direct Method:
 
-Ue MIST bolometric correction tables and extinction map to derive stellar parameters <br />
+Uses bolometric corrections and extinction maps to derive stellar parameters using direct physical relations. Options are: <br />
+(1) RA/DEC + Photometry + (Spectroscopy) + Parallax -> Teff, R, L, distance, Av. Uses Monte-Carlo method to implement exponentially decreasing volume density prior with a length scale of 1.35 kpc (Astraatmadja & Bailer-Jones 2016) <br />
+(2) RA/DEC + Asteroseismology + Spectroscopy -> logg, rho, rad, mass, lum, distance, Av. Uses Dnu scaling relation corrections by Sharma et al. (2016). <br />
+
+Bolometric corrections are interpolated in (Teff, logg, FeH, Av) from the MIST grid, Conroy et al. in prep (http://waps.cfa.harvard.edu/MIST/model_grids.html)
