Overview
TransitFit is designed for exoplanetary transmission spectroscopy studies and offers a flexible approach to fitting single or multiple transits of an exoplanet at different observation wavelengths. It possesses the functionality to efficiently couple host limb-darkening parameters to a range of physical models across different wavelengths, through the use of the Limb darkening toolkit (ldtk) and the Kipping parameterisations of two-parameter limb darkening models. TransitFit uses batman to handle transit light curve modelling, and sampling and retrieval uses the nested sampling algorithm available through dynesty.
Installation
Please note that TransitFit currently only runs on UNIX-based machines.
Along with an installation of Python 3 (with the standard Conda distribution packages), TransitFit requires the following packages to be installed:
