Generating a random model

MaculaModel generates a model with 3 random spots (by default), using default stellar and spot parameters.



In [5]:

    
model = MaculaModel() # default
ts = np.arange(0,500,0.05)
plt.plot(ts, model(ts))

You can also change the default parameters; e.g. longer rotation period, different numbers of spots, different maximum spot size, etc.:



In [6]:

    
model = MaculaModel(nspots=5, star={'Peq':50}, spots={'alpha_max':10})
plt.plot(ts, model(ts))
