Transit light curve of an exoplanet occulting a star with an equatorial jet dimmer than the rest of its photosphere. This simulation made use of starry (Luger et al. 2019). It features a limb-darkened star with an adimensional unit radius and an occulting spherical body of relative radius 0.15. The equatorial band has a contrast of 1 (for illustration purposes) and an angular radius of 0.2 radians. The upper plot shows the system at scale for six different times. The bottom plot shows the occultation light curve (black line), the differential flux measured for the six times shown above (points), as well as the transit signal that would be observed for a uniform limb-darkened star (gray).
