jaxon.reflected.reflected_phase_curve(phases, omega, g, a_rp, scattering_phase_func='Henyey-Greenstein')[source]

Reflected light phase curve for a homogeneous sphere by Heng, Morris & Kitzmann (2021).

Parameters

  • phases (~np.ndarray) – Orbital phases of each observation defined on (0, 1)

  • omega (tensor-like) – Single-scattering albedo as defined in

  • g (tensor-like) – Scattering asymmetry factor, ranges from (-1, 1).

  • a_rp (float, tensor-like) – Semimajor axis scaled by the planetary radius

Returns

  • flux_ratio_ppm (tensor-like) – Flux ratio between the reflected planetary flux and the stellar flux in units of ppm.

  • A_g (tensor-like) – Geometric albedo derived for the planet given {omega, g}.

  • q (tensor-like) – Integral phase function
