light curve fitting

[kathmcp]

Hi again,

I have managed to get run_compute to work on my model, and it has produced the following figure. The blue curve actually looks like a decent shape for my observations, but the fluxes, and flux variations are obviously too high. Have I missed something major, that it is so far out? Or do I need to just keep adjusting the parameters until it fits better. I can see changes happening as I adjust requiv (primary), mass ratio and sma, but they are fairly minor.

The main thing that affects the general flux levels is the passband luminosities (although depending on which mode you choose, temperatures and radii also play a significant role). Once you get those to the same scale, it should be easier to compare models against your observations.

hello sir in phoebe 0.32 version how can i fit light curve plot to find initial parameters suh as (mass ratio, surface potential, temperature, Gravity Darkening, Limb Darkening ,Reflection, Inclination)

hello sir in phoebe 2.3 how can i start to plot light curve and i have data observation of phase and flux in excell file?
