Installation

You can install MadhuSeager2009 with PyPi:

pip install taurex-madhuseager2009

You can install MadhuSeager2009 by cloning this Github and installing via the terminal. This is done by:

Usage

You can use the ExampleNotebook in the repository, which runs this PT profile with TauREx as a forward model in a Jupyter Notebook. You can further modify the Notebook and include retrievals if desired.

To use the MadhuSeager2009 PT profile in a .par file and run TauREx on a command line, you can call the profile with either the keywords 'MadhuSeager2009' or 'madhuseager2009' under the "[Temperature]" parameter:

$ profile_type = MadhuSeager2009

An example .par file exists in this repository with all the parameters relevant to this PT profile--just add in your desired values/further parameters as normal when using TauREx and any other TauREx plugins.
