SEDBYS: A python-based SED Builder for Young Stars
  Spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are useful primary and complementary
tools in the analysis of observations of young stars. However, the process of
collating, inspecting, and flux-converting archival photometry and spectroscopy
to build spectral energy distributions for young stars can be time-consuming.
Here, I present SEDBYS (Spectral Energy Distribution Builder for Young Stars),
a python-based repository of command-line tools built to (i) query online
photometric and spectroscopic catalogs and a distributed database of archival
photometry, (ii) use a look-up table of zero points to flux-convert the
acquired data, (iii) enable visual inspection of the SED and (iv) handle
book-keeping to collate references in bibTeX format. The code is distributed
via git and is equipped with additional tools to enable users to add existing
or forthcoming catalogs to the list of sources queried, ensuring the longevity
of SEDBYS as a tool for the star formation community.
