Efficient, uninformative sampling of limb darkening coefficients for two-parameter laws

Efficient, uninformative sampling of limb darkening coefficients for two-parameter laws

Stellar limb darkening affects a wide range of astronomical measurements and is frequently modelled with a parametric model using polynomials in the cosine of the angle between the line of sight and the emergent intensity. Two-parameter laws are particularly popular for cases where one wishes to fit freely for the …
