`Pryngles` is a `Python` package intended to produce useful
visualizations of the geometric configuration of a ringed exoplanet
(an exoplanet with a ring or exoring for short) and more importantly
to calculate the light curve produced by this kind of planets.  The
model behind the package has been developed in an effort to predict
the signatures that exorings may produce not only in the light curve
of transiting exoplanets (a problem that has been extensively studied)
but also in the light of stars having non-transiting exoplanets (the
bright side of the light curve).

```
### In GoogleColab:

If you are used to `GoogleColab` environment, you may also install `pryngles` by executing:

```python
!pip install -Uq pryngles
```

## Quickstart

¿Getting started using `pryngles`?  
Please import the package and some useful utilities:

```python
import pryngles as pr
from pryngles import Consts
```

> **NOTE**: If you are working in `GoogleColab` before producing any plot please load the 
  matplotlib backend:

  ```python
  %matplotlib inline
  ```

Any calculation in `Pryngles` starts by creating a planetary system:

```python
sys = pr.System()

S = sys.add(kind = "Star", radius = Consts.rsun/sys.ul, limb_coeffs = [0.65])
P = sys.add(kind = "Planet",parent = S, a = 0.2, e = 0.0, radius = Consts.rsaturn/sys.ul)
R = sys.add(kind = "Ring", parent = P, fi = 1.5, fe = 2.5, i = 30*Consts.deg)
```

In the example before the planet has a ring extending from 1.5 to 2.5
planetary radius which is inclined 30 degrees with respect to the
orbital plane. It has an orbit with semimajor axis of 0.2 and
eccentricity 0.0.

> **NOTE:** The following section implements our previous `RingedPlanet` interface, which is limited to modeling simple systems. If you would like to use our new, still-in-development interface `System`, please refer to our [Tutorials](../tutorials/tutorials.html) section. 

Once the system is set we can *ensamble* a simulation, ie. creating an
object able to produce a light-curve.

```python
RP = sys.ensamble_system()
```

To see how the surface of the planet and the rings looks like run:

```python
RP.plotRingedPlanet()
```

You may change the position of the star in the orbit and see how the
appearance of the planet changes:

```python
RP.changeStellarPosition(45*Consts.deg)
RP.plotRingedPlanet()
```

Below is the sequence of commands to produce your first light curve:

```python
import numpy as np

RP.changeObserver([90*Consts.deg, 30*Consts.deg])
lambs = np.linspace(0.0*Consts.deg, 360*Consts.deg, 100)
Rps = []
Rrs = []
ts = []

for lamb in lambs:
    RP.changeStellarPosition(lamb)
    ts += [RP.t*sys.ut/Consts.day]
    RP.updateOpticalFactors()
    RP.updateDiffuseReflection()
    Rps += [RP.Rip.sum()]
    Rrs += [RP.Rir.sum()]

ts = np.array(ts)
Rps = np.array(Rps)
Rrs = np.array(Rrs)

#Plot
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.gca()
ax.plot(ts, Consts.ppm*Rps, label = "Planet")
ax.plot(ts, Consts.ppm*Rrs, label = "Ring")
ax.plot(ts, Consts.ppm*(Rps + Rrs), label = "Planet+Ring")

ax.set_xlabel("Time [days]")
ax.set_ylabel("Flux anomaly [ppm]")
ax.legend();
```

And *voilà*!

Let's have some `Pryngles`.

## Realistic Scattering and Polarization

Starting in version 0.9.x, Pryngles is able to compute fluxes using a
more realistic model for scattering that includes polarization. The
new features are not yet flexible enough but they can be used to
create more realistic light curves.

These new features are based on the science and Fortran code developed
by Prof. Daphne Stam and collaborators, and adapted to Pryngles
environment by Allard Veenstra (Fortran and Python wrapping) and Jorge
I. Zuluaga (translation to C and `ctypes`). For the science behind the
scattering and polarization code see:

> Rossi, L., Berzosa-Molina, J., & Stam, D. M. (2018). PyMieDAP: a
  Python–Fortran tool for computing fluxes and polarization signals of
  (exo) planets. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 616,
  A147. [arXiv:1804.08357](https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.08357)

Below is a simple example of how to compute the light curve of a
ringed planet whose atmosphere and ring scatters reallistically the
light of the star. The code compute the components of the Stokes
vector and the degree of polarization of the diffusely reflected light
on the system.

As shown in the example before, we first need to create the system:

```python
nspangles = 1000

sys = pr.System()

S = sys.add(kind = "Star", radius = Consts.rsun/sys.ul, limb_coeffs = [0.65])
P = sys.add(kind = "Planet", primary = S, a = 3, e = 0.0, 
          radius = Consts.rsaturn/sys.ul, nspangles = nspangles)
R = sys.add(kind = "Ring", primary = P, fi = 1.5, fe = 2.25, 
          i = 30*Consts.deg, roll = 90*Consts.deg, nspangles = nspangles)

RP = sys.ensamble_system()
```

Then generate the light curve:

```python
import numpy as np
from tqdm import tqdm

RP.changeObserver([-90*Consts.deg, 60*Consts.deg])
lambs = np.linspace(90*Consts.deg, 450*Consts.deg, 181)

ts = []
Rps = []
Rrs = []
Pp  =  []
Pr  =  []
Ptot = []
for lamb in tqdm(lambs):
    RP.changeStellarPosition(lamb)
    ts += [RP.t*RP.CU.UT]
    RP.updateOpticalFactors()
    RP.updateReflection()
    Rps += [RP.Rip.sum()]
    Rrs += [RP.Rir.sum()]
    Pp +=  [RP.Ptotp]
    Pr +=  [RP.Ptotr]
    Ptot += [RP.Ptot]
    
ts = np.array(ts)
Rps = np.array(Rps)
Rrs = np.array(Rrs)
Pp = np.array(Pp)
Pr = np.array(Pr)
Ptot = np.array(Ptot)
```

And plot it:

```python
#Plot
fig, axs = plt.subplots(2, 1, figsize = (6, 6), sharex = True)

ax = axs[0]
ax.plot(lambs*180/np.pi-90, Rps, label = "Planet")
ax.plot(lambs*180/np.pi-90, Rrs, label = "Ring")
ax.plot(lambs*180/np.pi-90, Rps+Rrs, label = "Planet + Ring")
ax.set_ylabel("Flux anomaly [ppm]")
ax.legend()
ax.grid()
pr.Plot.pryngles_mark(ax)

ax = axs[1]
ax.plot(lambs*180/np.pi-90, Pp, label = "Planet")
ax.plot(lambs*180/np.pi-90, Pr, label = "Ring")
ax.plot(lambs*180/np.pi-90, Ptot, label = "Planet + Ring")
ax.set_ylabel("Degree of polarization [-]")
ax.legend()
ax.grid()
pr.Plot.pryngles_mark(ax)

ax = axs[1]
ax.set_xlabel("True anomaly [deg]")
fig.tight_layout()
```

The resulting polarization and light-curve will be:
