Color Classification of Extrasolar Giant Planets: Prospects and Cautions

Description

This dataset contains the reflected light models used in the analysis of Batalha et al. 2018 (Color Classification of Extrasolar Giant Planets: Prospects and Cautions) . The paper explains the full calculation of the models and the parameter space. 

The public repository colorcolor contains notebooks that explain how extract spectra from the database. To show it's simplicity, we post a small code snippet below. 

import colorcolor as c

planet_dict = {'cloud': 0.03, 
               'distance': 0.85, 
               'gravity': 25, 
               'metallicity': 0.0, 
               'phase': 100.0, 
               'temp': 150}

planet = c.select_model(planet_dict)

wave, albedo = planet['WAVELN'], planet['GEOMALB']

 

Further explanation can be found at the GitHub repository and within the paper.
