SOCCA extends HG1G2 by modeling the projected surface of a rotating triaxial ellipsoid to jointly retrieve absolute magnitude, phase parameters, spin state, and shape from sparse multi-band photometry, halving residuals and tripling precision on LSST simulations and Eugenia data.
Updated shape model of Arrokoth finds significantly larger volume, 2:1 lobe ratio, spherical small lobe and oblate large lobe compared to prior work.
CARMApy provides a Python interface to the ExoCARMA microphysics code, enabling simulation of cloud particle size distributions and rates in exoplanet atmospheres with claimed consistency to prior versions and speed gains of 1.9x single-threaded and 3.8x multithreaded.
