estimate_scatter

exovetter.modshift.estimate_scatter(phi_days, flux, phi_pri_days, phi_sec_days, gap_width_hrs)[source]

Estimate the point-to-point scatter in the lightcurve after the transits have been removed.

Parameters:
phi_days, fluxfloat

The folded lightcurve

phi_pri_days, phi_sec_daysfloat

Phase of primary and secondary transits, in units of days.

gap_width_hrsfloat

How much data on either side of primary and secondary transits to gap before computing the point-to-point scatter

Returns:
rmsfloat

The rms point-to-point scatter

Raises:
ValueError

Invalid inputs or calculation failed.
