Abstract

We present a fast and user friendly exoplanet transit light-curve modelling package pytransit, implementing optimized versions of the Giménez and Mandel & Agol transit models. The package offers an object-oriented python interface to access the two models implemented natively in fortran with OpenMP parallelization. A partial OpenCL version of the quadratic Mandel–Agol model is also included for GPU-accelerated computations. The aim of pytransit is to facilitate the analysis of photometric time series of exoplanet transits consisting of hundreds of thousands of data points, and of multipassband transit light curves from spectrophotometric observations, as a part of a researcher's programming toolkit for building complex, problem-specific analyses.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
