Updated November 2021

Paper I

Written by Barragán O., Gandolfi D. & Antoniciello G.

MNRAS arXiv:1809.04609 ascl:1707.003 pyaneti wiki

Paper II

Written by Barragán O., Aigrain S., Rajpaul V. M., & Zicher N.

MNRAS arXiv:2109.140860

Brief description on pyaneti:

  • The code runs in python 3.
  • Transit fits for single transits.
  • Multi-band fits.
  • Gaussian Process (GP) and multidimensional GP regressions.
  • Multiple independent Markov chains to sample the parameter space.
  • Easy-to-use: it runs by providing only one input_fit.py file.
  • Parallel computing with OpenMP.
  • Automatic creation of posteriors, correlations, and ready-to-publish plots.
  • Circular and eccentric orbits.
  • Multi-planet fitting.
  • Inclusion of RV and photometry jitter.
  • Systemic velocities for multiple instruments.
  • Stellar limb darkening (Mandel & Agol, 2002).
  • Correct treatment of short and long cadence data (Kipping, 2010).
  • Joint RV + transit fitting.
