Bases: object

binary_params is an object to store parameters describing a binary sytem.

periodAstropy Quantity, unit:d

Orbital period of binary in days.

eccfloat

Eccentricity of binary orbit.

incAstropy Quantity, unit:deg

Binary orbit inclination, relative to line of sight, in degrees.

t0float

Binary system’s reference time, t0. Specified in MJDs. For eclipsing systems, typically minimum of deepest eclipse.

arg_per0Astropy Quantity, unit:deg

Binary’s argument of periastron, in degrees, at time t0.

long_anAstropy Quantity, unit:deg

Binary orbit’s longitude of ascending node.
