Fitting unresolved binaries? #55

Closed ericagol closed 4 years ago

ericagol commented 4 years ago

Hi @hover2pi -

I am wondering whether sedkit has the capability of fitting unresolved binaries?

The application I'm thinking of is fitting for temperature inhomogeneity on TRAPPIST-1 by modeling it as two(+) stars with different temperatures. Is this something sedkit might be capable of, or that could be added easily?

Thanks,

Eric Agol

Eric,

No, it can’t do that yet but Adam Burgasser has the Splat package that does exactly that! It’s at github.com/aburgasser/splat. It’s a little harder to use than sedkit (in my opinion) but has the capability you’re looking for. This is on my to do list!

But what you’re describing is basically what we did in Wakeford et al. (2018) to determine parameters for Trappist-1g. Check it out!

@hover2pi Thanks for your quick help! I'm familiar with the Wakeford et al. (2018) paper, and I'm interested in carrying this out for all seven planets based on the data from Ducrot et al. (2020). Take care, Eric
