What is pyppluss?

pyppluss is a model for the light curve of ringed exoplanets transits' for 
uniform and limb darkened stars. The calculation is done using the 
Polygon+Segments algorithm, described in TBD.

What does pyppluss do?

pyppluss provides calculation of light curves for ringed, oblate or spherical 
exoplanets in both the uniform and limb darkened cases.
 
The package is split into five files:
- polygon_plus_segments is an implementation of the Polygon+Segments algorithm 
   described in Fast and precise light curve model for transiting exoplanets 
   with rings, doi:stz2556.
- segment_models contains functions for modelling light curves in the uniform 
   and limb darkened cases.
- error_order_fin is a script described in appendix C, to decide what order 
   should the numerical integration be done.
- base_functions contains a variety of low level helpers.
- fastqs is a python implementation of the Fast Quartic Solver described by 
    Strobach (2010), see 
    https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0377042710002128
 
Detailed descriptions of all inputs and outputs are given by comment lines and 
 documentation text in the code.
