JWST_Obs_simu module

JWST_Obs_simu.phase_curve_visit(planets, redistribution, filter, model, unit, nb_points=10000, Keplerian=True)

Simulates the phase curves of the TRAPPIST-1 planets during JWST visits.

Parameters:

  • planets (str) – the planets to simulate

  • redistribution (float) – the redistribution efficiency between the day side and night side (default: 0)

  • filter (str) – the MIRI filter to use

  • model (str) – the model to use for the stellar flux. If ‘sphinx’, the flux is computed using the SPHINX model. If ‘phoenix’, the flux is computed using the PHOENIX model.

  • unit (str) – the unit of the phase curve. If ‘ppm’, the fluxes of the planets will be computed relatively to the stellar flux in ppm. If ‘mJy’, the planetary fluxes will be computed in absolute value in “mJy”. Will be set automatically to ‘mJy’ if the model is ‘phoenix’.

  • nb_points (int) – the number of points for the phase curves (default: 10000)

  • Keplerian (bool) – whether to use the Keplerian periods or not (default: True)

Return type:

None
