Titolo: Towards high-precision modeling of star+exoplanet multiwavelength light-curves

Abstract: I will present new tools and methodologies purposely developed for modeling observations of transiting exoplanets and eclipsing binaries with precision down to <10 parts per million (ppm).

ExoTETHyS is a python package that aims to collect the functions needed to model the high-precision spectrophotometric observations obtained with JWST and ARIEL (not only). The current version includes a user-friendly stellar limb-darkening calculator that outperforms existing codes by one order of magnitude in terms of light-curve model accuracy. I will introduce to the current use of ExoTETHyS and discuss the planned developments.

I will also show the results from the consistent reanalyses of Spitzer and Hubble data with bayesian approaches and improved data detrending techniques.
