squishyplanet: Non-spherical exoplanet transit modeling
squishyplanet produces realistic lightcurves and phase curves of non-spherical exoplanets. The code generates models of triaxial planets; fitting for the triaxial shape can provide additional constraints on the planet’s interior properties and evolution. squishyplanet also handles complex limb darkening profiles while also accounting for the planet’s non-circular, potentially time-varying, projected shape.
