General info

This is a fortran package related to the field of astrophysics. It recover limb darkening of distant stars from the gravitational microlensing light curves.

The input data files have 3 columns: time Magnitude error of magnitude Also, the primary parameters of the microlensing event is needed and is stored in events.f90 file. The output files have 3 columns : Column 1: r Column 2: Surface brightness at r Column 3: Estimated error of surface brightness

To know more about the theory behind this package and its algorithm please see "Golchin, Rahvar, 2020, MNRAS, 494, p584-597. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa743 "
