Abstract

The objective of the project is to use the BAGPIPES software to: a) evaluate the possibility of using it to estimate photometric redshifts and b) obtain properties of the stellar populations for the galaxies in the S-PLUS survey. We also intend to use the models generated by BAGPIPES to produce synthetic photometry on the S-PLUS filters for applications in machine learning.
