consider using multiprocessing module to speed up Ellipse.fit_image() method

1

Spinning off from #823, consider using the `multiprocessing` module to (optionally) speed up the `Ellipse.fit_image()` method. One approach would be to fit each semi-major axis "step" independently, although perhaps these...

speeding up SedModel.mean_model method?

3

In the [interactive demo](https://github.com/bd-j/prospector/blob/master/demo/InteractiveDemo.ipynb) (as well as in my own, independent fits), instantiating the `CSPSpecBasis` object (using the `MILES` spectral library and the `MIST` isochrones) takes about 10 seconds, which...

some non-catastrophic RuntimeWarning(s) to consider capturing

1

For your consideration to capture: ``` /usr/local/lib/python/tractor/galaxy.py:778: RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in double_scalars return 4. * ef / ((ef + 1)**2) ``` and ``` /usr/local/lib/python/tractor/lsqr_optimizer.py:435: RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in...

@dstndstn, possibly related to #79 -- are you aware of this paper? https://arxiv.org/abs/1401.2636

Makefile update needed -- not all files copied to /usr/local/tractor

1

Am I supposed to add /path/to/where/I/downloaded/tractor (in my case /usr/local/share/tractor) to my PYTHONPATH or /usr/local/tractor which is where "make install" puts everything? With the former all the import statements work...

using trained normalizing flow model to get P_galaxy, P_star probabilities

Thanks for a terrific package! A student, @GraceScherer, and I have successfully reproduced most of the functionality of the auto-encoder developed for the DESI/BGS sample in Liang et al. (2023)....
