I was wondering what models people were using to fit different spectrums.
The threads seem to use POW and XSWABS which seem to work well for
quasars, but for clusters of stars these don't work well. Can anyone
suggest which model to use in a particular situation (ie for quasars, use
POW and XSWABS, for X use Y and Z, ...)?

Thanks,
Ryan Foley
