Citlalicue is the name of the Aztec Goddess who created the stars. This code allows you to mimic Citlalicue powers to create and manipulate stellar light curves.
The actual version of the code allows you to create synthetic stellar light curves (transits, stellar variability and white noise) and detrend light curves using Gaussian Processes (GPs).

Install it by typing
pip install citlalicue
Simulate light curves
Transits are implemented using PyTransit, while the stellar variability is added from samples of a Quasi-Periodic Kernel with covariance given by
