Initialize the VSPEC run parameters

For this example, we will create the parameter objects explicitly. This can also be done using a YAML file.

Load in the data

We can use VSPEC to read in the synthetic data we just created.

data = PhaseAnalyzer(model.directories['all_model'])

wl_pixels = [0,300,500,700]
time = data.time.to(u.day)
for i in wl_pixels:
    wl = data.wavelength[i]
    lc = data.lightcurve(
        source='star',
        pixel=i,
        normalize=0
    )
    plt.plot(time,lc,label=f'{wl:.1f}')
plt.legend()
plt.xlabel(f'time ({time.unit})')
_=plt.ylabel('Flux (normalized)')
