More robust limb darkening coefficient calculations #75

Closed rzellem closed 4 years ago

rzellem commented 4 years ago

Right now, if a user enters an AAVSO-support limb darkening coefficient that is NOT listed on the EXOFAST website (http://astroutils.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/exofast/limbdark.shtml), then an error will be raised.

Perhaps we allow the user to enter an AAVSO-supported LD coefficient. But if it is not on the EXOFAST website, we allow them to choose the appropriate one from the list...?

I'd say pick the closest filter from the set that is available to EXOFAST (U,B,V,R,I,J,H,K) If you want to get really fancy, LDTK allows one to calculate coefficients for an arbitrary filter if you know the wavelength region: https://github.com/hpparvi/ldtk

Yeah we should make the jump to LDTK and calculate this ourselves. Want to assign yourself to that task and work with Tamim, Kyle?
