Caption: Figure 8.

Sample transit light curve for a planet (r = 0.1) transiting a quadratically limb-darkened star (u1 = 0.4, u2 = 0.26). The top panel shows the starry (blue curve) and batman (orange dots) light curves, as well as a light curve generated by a high-precision direct numerical integration of the surface integral (purple dots). The bottom panel shows the relative error on the flux compared to the high-precision numerical solution for starry (blue) and batman (orange; Python).
