Compensate for morphological light-curve distortions #35

Open hippke opened 5 years ago

hippke commented 5 years ago

Compensate for morphological light-curve distortions (temporal smearing effects) due to finite integration time (Kipping 2010). Following his Eq. 40 we can estimate that this is probably not necessary to re-compute at every period, but only occasionally, so that the speed loss is small. Can also be made an optional parameter.
