And easy way to do this would be to simply compute the likelihood for the two data sets separately. Eric Agol Astronomy Professor University of Washington > On Sep 19,...
@dfm Perhaps we should meet about this; I haven't thought about this much, and so could use an explainer.
You should be able to tell from some simple algebra whether there are two or four roots... Eric Agol Astronomy Professor University of Washington > On Jul 13, 2017, at...
This could be a cool extension of the code! Sometimes, though, the iso-intensity contours can be non-convex, such as the chevron shapes or latitudinally-symmetric spots, such as seen [here](http://www.exoclimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/showman-600x353.png).
@rodluger I don't think the Moon is uniform. A Lambertian reflector scatters light uniformly in solid angle, but for the Moon at, say, half phase, the incident flux decreases towards...
It actually is different - the surface brightness (formally) becomes infinite at the limb due to the cusp caused by the tangent through the atmosphere.
Yes, just the thin shell approximation. Green’s theorem is a good idea. Eric Agol Astronomy Professor University of Washington > On Apr 24, 2018, at 8:32 AM, Rodrigo Luger wrote:...
