Below, we list the set of flags that can be used within juliet. For examples on how to use them,
please read juliet's wiki page.
-lcfile lightcurve_filename.dat
This flag tells juliet where to find the lightcurve_filename.dat file containing the times,
relative fluxes, errors and instruments of the transit dataset. juliet expects that in the
first column this file has time, in the second it has relative fluxes, in the third errors on those
relative fluxes and in the fourth the instrument names.
-rvfile rv_filename.dat
This flag tells juliet where to find the rv_filename.dat file containing the times,
radial-velocities, errors and instruments of the radial-velocity (RV) dataset. juliet expects that
in the first column this file has time, in the second it has RV, in the third errors on the RVs
and in the fourth the instrument names.
-lceparamfile lc_eparam_filename.dat
This flag tells juliet where to find a file with the external parameters to be used to "detrend" the data
of a given instrument. juliet expects that the lightcurve file (e.g., lightcurve_filename.dat) is
synchronized in the row number with this file for each instrument. For example, if there are two datapoints
for instrument A in rows 1 and 2, the external parameters for instrument A have to have the external paramerters
at the times of row 1 in the first row defining the external parameters for instrument A and the external parameters
at the times of row 2 in the second row.
-rveparamfile
Same as for lceparamfile, but for radial-velocities.
-ofolder
This flag reads an output folder:
-ldlaw
This flag defines the limb-darkening to be used. Can be either common to all instruments (e.g., give 'quadratic' as input), or it can be different for every instrument, in which case you must pass a comma separated list of instrument-ldlaw pair, e.g. 'TESS-quadratic,CHAT-linear'.
-lctimedef
Lightcurve time definitions (e.g., 'TESS-TDB,CHAT-UTC', etc.). If not given, it is assumed all lightcurves are in TDB:
-rvtimedef
Radial-velocities time definitions (e.g., 'HARPS-TDB,CORALIE-UTC', etc.). If not given, it is assumed all RVs are in UTC:
-priorfile
This reads the prior file.
-rvunits
This defines if rv units are m/s (ms) or km/s (kms); useful for plotting. Default is m/s.
-nrvchunk
This defines the minimum chunk (in days) of RV data that activates multi-panel plots. Each panel will have data within nrvchunk days.
--plotbinnedrvs
Decide if binned RVs will be plotted at the end:
-ecclime
Allow user to change the maximum eccentricity for the fits; helps avoid issue that Batman can run into with high eccentricities
-sdensity_mean
Define stellar density mean.
-sdensity_sigma
Define stellar density stdev.
-efficient_bp
Define if the sampling for p and b in Espinoza (2018) wants to be used; define pl and pu (this assumes sampling parameters in prior file are r1 and r2):
-pl
pl for --efficient_bp
-pu
pu for --efficient_bp
-nlive
Number of live points.
-nsims
Number of samples to draw from posterior to compute models/plots.
-n_supersamp, -exptime_supersamp and -instrument_supersamp
Dealing with supersampling for long exposure times for LC. n_supersamp is the number of supersampled points, exptime_supersamp the exposure time and instrument_supersamp the instrument for which you want to apply supersampling. If you need several instruments to have supersampling, you can give these input as comma separated values, e.g., '-instrument_supersamp TESS,K2 -n_supersamp 20,30 -exptime_supersamp 0.020434,0.020434' will give values of n_supersamp of 20 and 30 to TESS and K2 lightcurves, respectively, and both of them with texp of 0.020434 days.
--geroge_hodlr
Define if HODLRSolver wants to be used for george. Only applied to photometric GPs:
--dynamic
Define if Dynamic Nested Sampling is to be used:
--use_dynesty
Define if dynesty will be used.
-dynesty_bound
Define some arguments for dynesty runs (see https://dynesty.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html); default is single.
-dynesty_sample
Method used to sample uniformly within the likelihood constraint, conditioned on the provided bounds (default is rwalk).
-dynesty_nthreads
Number of threads to use within dynesty (giving a number here assumes one wants to perform multithreading):
