@rodluger Right, the fractional errors in `occult_nonlinear` are in the flux, not the surface brightness. I've looked into fitting the surface brightness with a polynomial before, and I think I...

@ericagol @rodluger I'm wondering if the precision would improve if we use compensated summation.

It is a method for tracking rounding/truncation errors when you carry out a sum. I tried it out, and it doesn’t help, unfortunately. I found that it helped immensely for...

We will look into this later.

I would recommend starting with the documentation. There is an example given on how to mask the transits, which is necessary for detrending (since you don't want the transits to...

I haven't used EVEREST on Windows, so I can't help. @rodluger ?

That depends on which system you are studying - this is only useful if you have a known transiting exoplanet; if the planet is not known, then the transits cannot...

Well, for each candidate you will have to look up the period and time of first transit.

@helgee Can you recommend another option for computing JPL ephemerides in Julia v1.0?

I worked out some of the math for this - I can TeX it up at some point, but not sure where it should go...
