PARSEC isochrone fit to Musca members using a mixture model. The model comparison is done in color, but approximate spectral classes are given on the top axis. Stars included in the fit (blue circles) are filled based on their outlier probability. Excluded points (mostly due to a high RUWE) are shown as blue squares. The green lines are 200 random samples from the MCMC posterior. Models predict slightly different ages at different mass ranges; the mixture model takes the majority age by downweighting stars in poorly matched regions (increasing their outlier probability).
