Initial guess for mid-transit time.

pri_pfloat

Initial guess for period.

pri_rprsfloat

Initial guess for planet-to-star radius ratio.

pri_m_starndarray

Mean and standard deviation of the stellar mass estimate in solar masses.

pri_r_starndarray

Mean and standard deviation of the stellar radius estimate in solar radii.

tforecastiterable

The times for the forecast. Assumes same units as lc.time.

verbosebool

Print details of optimization.

Returns
