[ascl:2506.014] M_-M_K-: Estimate masses and uncertainties from M_Ks (2MASS Ks + distance)
Mann, Andrew W.; Dupuy, Trent; Kraus, Adam L.; Gaidos, Eric; Ansdell, Megan; Ireland, Michael; Rizzuto, Aaron C.; Hung, Chao-Ling; Dittmann, Jason; Factor, Samuel; Feiden, Gregory; Martinez, Raquel A.; Ruiz-Rodriguez, Dary; Thao, Pa Chia

M_-M_K- converts absolute 2MASS Ks-band magnitude (or a distance and a Ks-band magnitude) into an estimate of the stellar mass using the empirical relation derived from the resolved photometry and orbits of astrometric binaries. The code requires scalar values for K, distance, and corresponding uncertainties. M_-M_K- outputs errors based on the relationship's scatter and errors in the provided distance and Ks magnitude.
