starry_process: Interpretable Gaussian processes for stellar light curves
In this note we present the starry_process code, which implements an interpretable Gaussian process (GP) for modeling variability in stellar light curves.

Mapping stellar surfaces I: Degeneracies in the rotational light curve problem
The goal of this paper is twofold: (1) to explore the various degeneracies affecting the stellar light curve "inversion" problem and their effect on what can and cannot be learned from a stellar surface given unresolved photometric measurements; and (2) to motivate ensemble analyses of the light curves of many stars at once as a powerful data-driven alternative to common priors adopted in the literature.
