5. Edit the stellar ("light source") parameters:

add_light_source = True ! if True, add the light source
use_irradiation = False ! if True, use irradiation instead of range to calculate the light source spectrum
use_light_source_spectrum = True ! if True, use a spectrum for the light source instead of a black body
light_source_radius = 814e6 ! (m) radius of the light source
light_source_range = 13.5e9 ! (m) distance between the target and the light source
light_source_effective_temperature = 6190 ! (K) light source effective temperature

```
6. As a starting point, we will use a metallicity of 1 times the solar metallicity, no cloud, and a fixed eddy diffusion coefficient. Because of the effective temperature of the planet, TiO, VO and FeH are unlikely to have significant absorptions, so we will remove them in order to speed-up the calculations:

The temperature profile figure (temperature_profile_corot-4b) should look like this:

The profile crosses the condensation curves of several species. It seems that clouds are likely to form on this planets.
The transmission spectrum should look like this:

This is nice, but the resolution is quite low.
