Luminosity of secondary

See original GitHub issue

Using exoplanet is great! I’m now wondering, starry has the capability to make the secondary luminous, meaning that it will automatically add secondary eclipses, and phase curves. Is this functionality preserved in exoplanet? How can I add secondary eclipses to my fit exoplanet model?

Many thanks! C

Finale

I am wicked enthusiastic about the work that you’re making for STARRY v1.0. I see that you are including the use cases for transiting and eclipsing exoplanets + phase curves. I tried to hack this together with STARRY v0.2 (with lots of help from you); but I never got it to perform with physically meaningful behaviour – mostly in the edge cases. Your notebooks perform a lot better than my trials back in Spring!

I still do want to ask: Given the new layout for STARRY, with Maps are arguments to Primary and Secondary instances: How can we use the final results of the MAP or MCMC to compute the Eclipse Depth? Inside the existing system, it seems that all of the objects are either Theano TensorVariables or TensorConstants.

Thank you (et al.) for such great work!

@christinahedges @danielhey Just a heads up that I’m still working on this. I’m putting together a notebook with a sketch of how things will work in the next release of starry, and I’m hoping you guys (and anyone else!) can help me test it. I’ll keep you posted – hopefully I’ll have something for you later this week.
