Maelstrom


DOI

maelstrom is a set of custom PyMC3 Models and solvers for modelling binary orbits through the phase modulation technique. Unlike previous codes, maelstrom fits each individual datapoint in the time series by forward modelling the time delay onto the light curve. This approach fully captures variations in a light curve caused by an orbital companion.
