Spectral Energy Distribution Fitting with Markov Chain Monte Carlo: Methodology and Application to z = 3.1 Lyα-emitting Galaxies

We present GalMC, a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm designed to fit the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies to infer physical properties such as age, stellar mass, dust reddening, metallicity, redshift, and star formation rate. We d
