Handedness of coordinate system and orientation #21

Open ericagol opened 5 years ago

ericagol commented 5 years ago

As pointed out by Eastman et al. (2019), most observers treat planet/binary systems as left handed.

This code is right-handed, so we need to see how to apply it to left-handed model parameters.

We also need to make sure that the coordinate orientations make sense...
