Astronomy routines for extrasolar planets, exorings and dust scattering

# kenworthy

from kenworthy import *

kenworthy provides tools to solve Kepler’s equation for binary orbits, and to model dust rings and clouds orbiting around substellar companions.

The module kepler3 provides a fast and simple set of routines to estimate Hill sphere sizes, orbital periods and velocities at periastron and apastron, which enable characterisation of complex (i.e. not a simple exoplanet transit) eclipses.

exorings3 models giant ring-like structures transiting stellar disks, and provides fast calculation of light curves for forward modeling. Drawing routines for making figures of exoring systems in matplotlib are optimised with Artist primitives.
