  The Manifold Age Determination for Young Stars
  (MADYS) is a flexible Python tool for age and mass
  determination of young stellar and substellar
  objects.

  In this first full release, MADYS automatically
  retrieves and cross-matches photometry from several
  catalogs, estimates interstellar extinction, and
  derives age and mass estimates for individual
  objects through isochronal fitting.

  Harmonising the heterogeneity of publicly-available
  isochrone grids, the tool allows to choose amongst
  17 models, many of which with customisable
  astrophysical parameters (for a total of about 120
  grids). Note that the grids are not downloaded when
  installing MADYS. Instructions on how to download
  them are provided in the .ipynb notebook in
  GitHub's /example directory.

  Several dedicated plotting function are provided to
  allow a visual perception of the numerical output.
