Simple python interface for light curve fitting with JKTEBOP

JKTEBOP python interface

Compiles and runs the eclipsing binary fitting code JKTEBOP via a python script. Returns plots of the light curve and fit.

This interface uses JKTEBOP (version 43); for information visit John's website.

Compilation

JKTEBOP is written in FORTRAN 77, so you will need to check you have a suitable compiler on your system.

You may need to modify the os.system() commands to suit your system. From JKTEBOP's documentation:

On a UNIX system and depending on your compiler use one of these commands:

• g77 -o jktebop jktebop.f
• g95 -o jktebop jktebop.f
• gfortran -o jktebop jktebop.f
• ifort -o jktebop jktebop.f

For Windows systems please refer to your FORTRAN compiler user manual (or alternatively get rid of Windows and use Linux instead)."

Running

To modify your fit parameters, change the values directly in the .in file. Then simply run the code in python and a plot should appear with the results.
