Description: Mandel & Agol (2002) transit light curve equations
Homepage URL: http://astro.ucla.edu/~ianc/python/transit.html
Routines that calculate various transit light curve equations:
- occultuniform() – uniform-disk transit light curve
- occultquad() – quadratic limb-darkening
- occultnonlin() – full (4-parameter) nonlinear limb-darkening
- occultnonlin_small() – small-planet approximation with full nonlinear limb-darkening.
- t2z() – convert dates to transiting z-parameter for circular orbits.

Kelle writes:
I'm looking for preexisting code to do two things:
1) given an observed spectrum and a filter profile, compute mags
2) given a spectrum and two wavelengths, measure equivalent widths of
absorption/emission lines. similar to the 'e' function in splot (IRAF).

Description: Replacement for the IRAF synphot package
Homepage URL: https://trac6.assembla.com/astrolib
pysynphot is a synthetic photometry software package suitable for either library
or interactive use. Intended as a modern-language successor to the
IRAF/STSDAS synphot package, it provides improved algorithms that
address known shortcomings in synphot, and its object-oriented design
is more easily extensible than synphot's task-oriented approach. It will run under PyRAF, and ...
