Hi, I am new to stellar physics and isochrones, I am still testing here and trying to have a better understanding for this tool.
I am using MIST to generate solar magnitudes in different filters, with an input params mass, age, feh = (1.00, 9.66, 0.0182)
The input feh=0.0182 is set to get an output feh close to ~0. Here is my script.
https://github.com/pinsongzhao/TestIsochrones/blob/main/CheckSolarMags.ipynb
I am comparing the output magnitudes with Solar magnitudes listed in https://mips.as.arizona.edu/~cnaw/sun.html.
The differences range from 0.04mag to >0.15mag when wavelength of filters goes from 4.44um to 0.435um.
Given the model can not be perfectly match the Sun, is this differences in all filters expected?
I just want to make sure I have not made any stupid mistakes when using Isochrones or mis-interpretate the output parameters from the code.

Thank you very much,
Pinsong
