Simplified sketch of the code’s architecture for the computation of the absorption of the stellar spectrum during the transit of the planet and its atmosphere. Different colours for the thermosphere grid cells mean that their projections fall on different stellar cells. The black arrows represent the stellar light coming out of the stellar surface. We only show a small fraction of the simulated atmosphere for clarity.
