Abstract

We show the results of a non-parametric, fully bayesian implementation of a spectral fitting algorithm, designed to calculate the main physical parameters that govern the galaxy assembly process. In this work, we present results from a statistical treatment of SED fitting that allows for easy recovery and visualization of the galaxy physical parameters.
