pyLIMA

Authors : Etienne Bachelet, [email protected] Rachel Street, [email protected] Valerio Bozza, [email protected] Martin Norbury, [email protected] and friends!

pyLIMA is an open source for modeling microlensing events. It should be flexible enough to handle your data and fit it. You can also practice by simulating events.

Documentation and Installation

Documentation

Required materials

You need pip or you can install manually the required libraries Documentation

pyLIMA should now run both on python3 (python2 is not supported anymore, time for update!).

Installation and use

Lot of efforts have been made to have pyLIMA (and VBBinaryLensing) install through pip:

```

pip install pyLIMA ```

This new procedure which should avoid the previous installations headaches! Successfully test on various UNIX, MAC and Windows! If you encounter any problems, please contact [email protected]

You should be able to load pyLIMA as general module : python from pyLIMA import microlmagnification

Examples

Examples can be found in your pyLIMA directory. Look on the documentation to learn how to run it. There is two version for each examples, one using Jupyter notebook (.ipynb) or classic Python file (.py).

Example_1 : HOW TO FIT MY DATA?

Example_2 : HOW TO USE YOUR PREFERED PARAMETERS?

Example_3 : HOW TO SIMULATE EVENST?

Example_4 : HOW TO USE YOUR OWN FITTING ROUTINES?

Example_5 : HOW TO FIT PARALLAX?

What can you do?

pyLIMA is now in beta!! Here is the status of implemented microlensing models:

| Model | Implemented | Examples | Fit Method Advice | | :--- | :---: |:---: | ---: | | Point-Source Point Lens (PSPL) | | Yes | Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) | | Finite-Source Point Lens (FSPL) | | Yes | Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) or Differential Evolution (DE) | | Double-Source Point Lens (DSPL) | | Yes | Differential Evolution (DE) | | Uniform-Source Binary Lens (USBL) | | No | |

pyLIMA can also treat Second Order effects :

Example 1 input data

opened on 2023-01-22 18:11:16 by eddiemorris135

thanks for placing this tool in the public domain.

As a hobbyist I am using it to learn more about microlensing. However, I am struggling to find suitable data would replace 'Survey_1.dat' for example.

I attempted to use the following database: https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/cgi-bin/TblSearch/nph-tblSearchInit?app=ExoTbls&config=keplerstellar with kepler ID 11904151

but the resulting PDCSAP_FLUX_ERR array is not of the same length as the PDCSAP_FLUX array.

Perhaps there are more convenient database sources? Thanks Ed

Availability for python 3.11

Any chance there will be a pylima pip or conda installer for python 3.11 soon?

Add easy-to-access version string to PyLIMA

opened on 2023-01-05 04:28:13 by rachel3834

It has become customary that after importing a package, typing ipython> pyLIMA.version ...should return the current version of the installed package, for user reference.
As far as I can tell, PyLIMA doesn't have this yet, so I request that this be added.

Saving locally the "fit" object (not just the output)

opened on 2022-06-28 14:12:17 by petro121

Users may need to save the resulting "fit" object (not just the output in html, pdf or other format) locally on their machine (for example, to perform their own visualizations later). For now it is possible only to locally save the MCMC chains. However, if you need the "fit" object after you finished your session, you need to rerun the whole fit, which may take quite a while to be calculated, if the fit is complex.

Maybe this will be of use: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4529815/saving-an-object-data-persistence

Add support for different date types (JD, MJD, HJD, BJD)

opened on 2022-03-29 13:56:31 by petro121

Even though in pyLIMA there are no absolute definition for which date type to use, some researches might like to account for subtle differences in time for different date types (Julian Date, Modified Julian Date, Heliocentric Julian Date, Barycentric Julian Date). This need is produced by the fact that there are some subtle effects that are mildly impacted by this, such as the "Earth parallax".
