[question] simulating a star with a transiting brown dwarf #260

Closed jpdeleon closed 3 years ago

jpdeleon commented 3 years ago

A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] I would like to simulate a population of systems composed of a star and a transiting brown dwarf.

Describe the solution you'd like I wonder if the starry.System can be used to simulate such systems using the procedure described in the eclipsing binary system tutorial. Is it correct to just assume a small amp and u=0 for the starry.Secondary component to simulate a brown dwarf companion?

@jpdeleon I don't see why not! Let me know if you run into issues.
