astrobase.lcmodels package

This contains various light curve models for variable stars. Useful for first order fits to distinguish between variable types, and for generating these variables’ light curves for a recovery simulation.

• astrobase.lcmodels.transits: trapezoid-shaped planetary transit light curves.
• astrobase.lcmodels.eclipses: double inverted-gaussian shaped eclipsing binary light curves.
• astrobase.lcmodels.flares: stellar flare model from Pitkin+ 2014.
• astrobase.lcmodels.sinusoidal: sinusoidal light curve generation for pulsating variables.
