transitspectroscopy: a library for all your transit spectroscopy needs

TransitSpectroscopy 🪐 --- a package for all your transit spectroscopy needs

---

transitspectroscopy is a package containing algorithms and wrappers useful for performing transit (transmission and emission) spectroscopy of exoplanetary systems.

Author: Nestor Espinoza ([e-mail])

Statement of need

I might fill this in later, but basically: I needed a package to make available all the tools useful for transit spectroscopy: from tracing, spectral extraction to actual lightcurve fitting of wavelength-dependant transits.

Installation

Installation is as simple as:

    python setup.py install

Or via PyPi:

    pip install transitspectroscopy

Note you need to have the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) installed for these scripts to successfully install transitspectroscopy on your machine. In MacOS, installing the GSL library is as easy as doing brew install gsl.
