*PyTransit: fast and versatile exoplanet transit light curve modelling in Python.* PyTransit provides a set of optimised
transit models with a unified API that makes modelling complex sets of heterogeneous light curve (nearly) as easy as 
modelling individual transit light curves. The models are optimised with Numba which allows for model evaluation speeds
paralleling Fortran and C-implementations but with hassle-free platform-independent multithreading.

The package has been under continuous development since 2009, and is described in [Parviainen (2015)](http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.07433), 
[Parviainen (2020a)](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020MNRAS.499.1633P/abstract), and [Parviainen & Korth (2020b)](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020MNRAS.499.3356P/abstract).

```Python
from pytransit import RoadRunnerModel

tm = RoadRunnerModel('quadratic')
tm.set_data(times)

tm.evaluate(k=0.1, ldc=[0.2, 0.1], t0=0.0, p=1.0, a=3.0, i=0.5*pi)

tm.evaluate(k=[0.10, 0.12], ldc=[[0.2, 0.1], [0.5, 0.1]], t0=0.0, p=1.0, a=3.0, i=0.5*pi)

tm.evaluate(k=[[0.10, 0.12], [0.11, 0.13]], ldc=[[0.2, 0.1], [0.5, 0.1],[0.4, 0.2, 0.75, 0.1]],
            t0=[0.0, 0.01], p=[1, 1], a=[3.0, 2.9], i=[.5*pi, .5*pi])
```

### RoadRunner transit model

RoadRunner [(Parviainen, 2020a)](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020MNRAS.499.1633P/abstract) is a fast exoplanet transit model that can use any radially symmetric function to model stellar limb darkening 
while still being faster to evaluate than the analytical transit model for quadratic limb darkening.

- [RRModel example 1](https://github.com/hpparvi/PyTransit/blob/dev/doc/source/notebooks/models/roadrunner/roadrunner_model_example_1.ipynb) 
  shows how to use RoadRunner with the included limb darkening models.
- [RRModel example 2](https://github.com/hpparvi/PyTransit/blob/dev/doc/source/notebooks/models/roadrunner/roadrunner_model_example_2.ipynb)
  shows how to use RoadRunner with your own limb darkening model.
- [RRModel example 3](https://github.com/hpparvi/PyTransit/blob/dev/doc/source/notebooks/models/roadrunner/roadrunner_model_example_3.ipynb) 
  shows how to use an LDTk-based limb darkening model LDTkM with RoadRunner.

### Transmission spectroscopy transit model

Transmission spectroscopy transit model (TSModel) is a special version of the RoadRunner model dedicated to modelling 
transmission spectrum light curves.
