New Physics and Features in the 2.2 Release of the PHOEBE Eclipsing Binary Modeling Code
Abstract
PHOEBE (phoebe-project.org) is a sophisticated code for modeling eclipsing binary observables. PHOEBE 2.0 (Prsa et al, 2016) introduced increased precision, triangulated meshing, light travel time effects, Doppler boosting, improved atmospheric and passband treatments, and a Python frontend interface. PHOEBE 2.1 (Horvat et al, 2018) added support for misalignment, synthetic spectral line profiles, and a re-parameterization from equipotentials and polar radii to equivalent radii. In the 2.2 release, we now introduce interstellar extinction, additional passband scaling options including color-support, advanced third light and limb-darkening, and support for Python 3.
