custom_map.py ΒΆ

Illustrates how to specify a custom surface radiance map and use it to visualize the planet and compute occultation light curves. As an example, I specify a planet with a hotspot given by a Gaussian in zenith angle, but this can be modified to generate any surface map that is symmetric about the hotspot.
