Descripción
The Universal Transit Modeller (UTM) is a light-curve simulator for all
kinds of transiting or eclipsing configurations between arbitrary
numbers of several types of objects, which may be stars, planets,
planetary moons, and planetary rings. Applications of UTM to date have
been mainly in the generation of light-curves for the testing of
detection algorithms. For the preparation of such test for the Corot
Mission, a special version has been used to generate multicolour
light-curves in Corot's passbands. A separate fitting program, UFIT
(Universal Fitter) is part of the UTM distribution and may be used to
derive best fits to light-curves for any set of continuously variable
parameters. UTM/UFIT is written in IDL code and its source is released
in the public domain under the GNU General Public License.
