Atmospheric Retrievals Roadmap

Current Status:

• atmospheric_retrieval subpackage exists, and it contains a main python module for performing retreivals through platon (i.e. platon_wrapper.py)
• The subpackage also contains modules that enable users to perform retrievals using CPU and GPU-enabled AWS EC2 instances
• The subpackage is documented through nominal ExoCTK API docs
• The subpackage has an example notebook in the ExoCTK notebooks directory

Future Plans:

• Extend subpackage to support CHIMERA in addition to PLATON
• Implement web-based framework for retrievals so that users may perform retrievals by submitting a request in a web form in the ExoCTK web app
• Simplify existing installation and configuration procedure for connecting to and running AWS EC2 services.
