Ag ℐ(g:𝒰(−1, 1), ω0: 𝒰(0, 1), CHEOPS, TESS Joint prior: Used to put prior on g instead of Ag and ω0 + ω′ instead of ω′. The kelp function used to compute g tends to return NaN, so computing g and forcing finite and physical values to g help prevent execution errors. Regarding x1, x2, priors aim at probing reflective Eastern hemisphere due to produce flux excess before an eclipse.

All the parameters in this table are introduced and described in Sections 4.1 and 4.2.

𝒰(min, max) indicates the use of a uniform prior between min and max.

𝒩(mean, std) indicates a normal (Gaussian) distribution of the specified mean and standard deviation.
