minor bugs

Open macgrac opened this issue 10 years ago • 1 comments

Dear Stefano,

I noticed some bugs while using Systemic 2.16. Please find the list below.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think relativistic effects are not included in the code. The relativistic precession of pericenter may be important for hot planets. For instance, in the case of WASP-12 the expected period of the precession is about 17 yr, and observations obtained so far cover its significant fraction.

Best, Gracjan

  • in TRANSIT TIMING plot in model mode the ttv signal ends at the penultimate point (I think the iteration loop ends one step too early)
  • while switching between kernels, the RV SIGNAL BY PLANET is not redrawn
  • while analyzing a dataset with nonconsecutive transit times I noticed that the TRANSIT TIMING plot is constructed as the minimal interval was taken as the orbital period, not a value listed in ORBITAL ELEMENTS. I noticed that adding an artificial data point, just one orbital period before or after any observed transit time makes the plot looking fine.

Hi Gracjan,

Thanks for the report, the latter all look like easily fixable bugs for the next point release (in a couple of weeks at most).

Relativistic effects are not included but would not be hard to implement. I'll have a look at the literature and get back to you.
