VSPEC: Variable Star PhasE Curve
Johnson, Ted M.; Kelahan, Cameron; Mandell, Avi M.; Dhahbi, Ashraf; Hammond, Tobi; Barclay, Thomas; Kostov, Veselin B.; Villanueva, Geronimo L.
VSPEC (Variable Star PhasE Curve) simulates exoplanet observations. It combines NASA’s Planetary Spectrum Generator (PSG) with a custom variable star model. Originally built to simulate the infrared excess of non-transiting planets, VSPEC supports transit, eclipse, phase curve geometries as well as spots, faculae, flares, granulation, and the transit light source effect.
