Scientific Heritage

This software implements and builds upon several key theoretical frameworks for modeling Observed‑minus‑Calculated (O–C) variations in close binary systems.

Light‑Time Effect (LiTE): For Keplerian orbital delay, the code utilizes the analytical formulations provided by Esmer 2021.

Newtonian Models: Modeling of Newtonian (N‑body) interactions is based on the integration procedures detailed in Esmer 2023, utilizing the REBOUND N‑body code.

Stellar Activity & Magnetic Effects: Period variations resulting from magnetic activity cycles are implemented following:
