# spotrod: transit lightcurves of spotted stars

This repository contains `spotrod`, a semi-analytic model to calculate
lightcurves of planetary transits of spotted stars. The model is implemented in
pure Python.

## Installation

Install the latest version of `spotrod` using `pip`:

```
pip install spotrod
```

## Usage

```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
import spotrod

time = np.linspace(-0.1, 0.1, 200)
eta, xi = spotrod.elements(time, period=5, a=14, k=0.0, h=0.0)

planetx = np.zeros(time.size)
planety = -xi

r = np.linspace(0.0005, 0.9995, 1000)
p = 0.05
z = np.sqrt(planetx * planetx + planety * planety)
planetangle = np.array([spotrod.circleangle(r, p, z[i]) for i in range(z.size)])

f = np.ones(r.size)
spotx = np.array([0.05])
spoty = np.array([0.35])
spotradius = np.array([0.2])
spotcontrast = np.array([0.5])
prediction = spotrod.integratetransit(
    planetx, planety, z, p, r, f, spotx, spoty, spotradius, spotcontrast, planetangle
)

plt.plot(time, prediction)
```
