Stellar Activity Grid for Exoplanets — JAX implementation

SAJAX — Stellar Activity Grid for Exoplanets in JAX

SAJAX is a JAX-accelerated reimplementation of SAGE (Chakraborty et al. 2024), a code that models stellar contamination of exoplanet transmission spectra from active regions (ars, faculae) on the stellar surface.

The key innovation over plain SAGE is that SAJAX vectorises the spectral loop with jax.vmap, making it fast on both CPU and GPU without any change to the calling code, and fully differentiable — enabling gradient-based inference with tools like NumPyro or Optax.
