Features

Pyrat Bay is an efficient, user-friendly tool to compute and fit radiative-transfer spectra. This package offers:

  • Forward-model radiative-transfer calculation of:
    • Transmission spectra (transit observations)
    • Emission spectra (eclipse observations)
    • Line-by-line calculation
    • Opacity sources:
      • Line-by-line molecular absorption
      • Collision-induced absorption
      • Rayleigh scattering absorption
      • Na and K alkali resonant lines
      • Gray and Mie scattering opacity
  • Bayesian (MCMC) posterior sampling of atmospheric parameters:
    • Molecular abundances
    • Temperature profile
    • Pressure-radius
    • Rayleigh and cloud top levels

Note

Pyrat Bay is temporarily proprietary software. If you want to take a look before we release it, send me an email at patricio.cubillos[at]oeaw.ac.at.

Note

It is imprtant to highlight that this project would not be possible without the previous experience with the BART project, nor without the contribution from each one of the collaborators to the BART code.
