ReflectDirect: Python planets in Jupyter¶
A suite about reflected light from directly imaged planets.
ReflectDirect is an MIT licensed Python suite designed for exploring exoplanetary systems in Jupyter. Customize a planet’s brightness map and geometry, generate and compare light curves, analyze the kernel of reflection, and more.
This suite defines the class DirectImaging_Planet that
has most of the important features. There’s also the method
Geometry_Reference() if you need a diagram explaining
some conventions used.
Dependent on:
- numpy
- scipy
- matplotlib
- ipywidgets
- IPython
Uses the function sub_observerstellar() and the binary files
kernel_width_values_all5deg.npy and
kernel_domcolat_values_all5deg.npy for some backend
calculations.
See Schwartz et al. (2016) for background info.
