teb is a Python package that calculates fundamental effective temperatures for solar-type stars in eclipsing binary systems using photometry, Gaia parallax and radii. The full method is described in Miller, Maxted & Smalley (2020).

Clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/nmiller95/teb.git

Then use pip to install the requirements.txt file

$ python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

teb was developed in Python 3.7.

Set up the data file for your star

 python3 teb.py --make-file  [star_name]

where [star_name] is a name resolvable by SIMBAD or the coordinates of the star in the form "Jhhhmmmss.s+ddmmss.s". The output file config/[star_name].yaml can be re-named to a more convenient name for the star once it is created.

See ..

  python3 teb.py --help

.. for help with this step.

Add / adjust observed data for your star in the resulting file config/[star_name].yaml

Set the star name and other parameters for the analysis in config/config.yaml

Then run your analysis using

  python3 teb.py 

Use the python scripts in the folder "scripts" for plotting your results, and to generate output LaTeX tables.

See the usage instructions in calspec.py if you need to use new filters not already included in cache/fps. The file calspec/calspec_lovar.csv can be used with the multi-cone VO service in topcat to collect photometric data for this sample CALSPEC stars excluding those with known variability > 0.5%. (topcat - https://www.star.bristol.ac.uk/mbt/topcat/)

To add filters used for flux ratio measurements only, use calspec.py with the option "-n".

For further details, see the built-in help for calspec:

  python3 calspec.py --help
