TABLE  stellarMassFSPSGranWideDust

Estimated stellar masses for SDSS and BOSS galaxies (Granada method, early-star-formation with dust)
Stellar masses using FSPS models of Conroy et al. (2009) fit to SDSS photometry in ugriz. The fit is carried out on extinction corrected model magnitudes that are scaled to the i-band c-model magnitude. This 'wide-star-formation' version allows an extended star-formation history. This version also fits for dust extinction.
