6. The parametric model

lazuli_exo.simulate(params) builds a spectrum for any transiting planet. The atmosphere comes from one POSEIDON-derived grid of the photospheric log-pressure,

\[\zeta(\lambda) = -\ln \frac{P_{\tau=1}(\lambda)}{1\,\mathrm{bar}},\]

tabulated for two fiducial planets (1 R\(_J\) at g = 10 m s\(^{-2}\); 0.3 R\(_J\) at g = 30 m s\(^{-2}\)) on a (T, [M/H], C/O) grid. For another planet the runtime shifts \(\zeta\) onto its pressure scale along the slant-column axis \(x = \tfrac12\ln[(R_p H)/(R_p H)_0]\), applies a gray deck and a power-law haze analytically per wavelength, and maps to depth with the exact isothermal hydrostatic relation \(R(\lambda) = R_p / (1 - (H/R_p)(\zeta - \tilde\zeta))\), so \(R_p\) is the band-median transit radius. The star is a PHOENIX mini-grid; slicersim computes the noise live. This notebook shows the grid and validates the reconstruction against the 14 committed POSEIDON planets.

The opacity shape, \(\zeta(\lambda)\)

Higher \(\zeta\) means the atmosphere becomes opaque higher up (lower pressure). Water bands and the alkali lines stand out; the Rayleigh slope rises to the blue. Shown binned to R = 300 for legibility (the grid itself is R = 10,000).

Reconstruction vs. the POSEIDON tables: WASP-39 b

The committed table and the parametric reconstruction from the registry values, binned to R = 100. Two conventions differ and are handled here as in the validation script: the tables put the archive radius at 10 bar, so the model is given each table’s own band-median radius; and POSEIDON realizes a nominal 1 mbar deck at 1.376 mbar on its 100-layer grid.

Validation table (all 14 planets)

Produced by precompute/validate_zeta_grid.py (issue #22 gate). Each model-vs-table comparison is made at R = 100 after removing a constant offset, against the single-transit per-bin sigma, and must pass three gates: G2, the worst binned residual is below one sigma; G5, the residual spectrum’s own template S/N (how much structure the error has) is below 3; G3, the model’s template S/N is within 10 % of the table’s. flat is gated on its absolute amplitude instead. For the three planets whose POSEIDON tables were computed with the isotherm clamped to 300 K, the like-for-like row (T_eq = 300 K in the parametric model too) is the gated one. Expected failures are waivers in the script, each naming the gate and the issue that removes it (#35).

Summary

  • One ζ grid (16 × 9 × 4 × 2 nodes at R = 10,000, ≈25 MB) plus analytic column, scale-height, deck and haze terms reproduces the per-planet POSEIDON tables to within the stated tolerances.

  • R_p is the band-median transit radius; the tables’ 10 bar reference-pressure convention only shows up as a constant offset.

  • Noise is live slicersim with the Vega→AB conversion applied and reported.
