Observations
The [observe] section configures synthetic observation generation. PROTEUS
can compute transit and eclipse depth spectra from the simulated atmospheric
state using the PLATON forward model.
The [accretion] section is reserved for late accretion modelling (not yet
implemented).

str or none | "none" |
Observation module: platon or none (disabled) |
PLATON [observe.platon]
PLATON computes wavelength-dependent transit and eclipse depths from the atmospheric composition and temperature-pressure profile. Three input sources are available:
outgas: use the outgassed equilibrium composition onlyprofile: use the full atmospheric T(p) profile from the climate moduleoffchem: use the photochemical composition from VULCAN
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

Opacity downsample factor (lower = higher spectral resolution, slower) |
clip_vmr |
float | 1e-8 |
Minimum VMR for species inclusion in the calculation |
