This kilonova/macronova light curve calculator is based on the paper Kawaguchi et al. 2016. The error budgets and the limitage of the model are discussed on the paper.
Please feel free for asking me (kyohei.kawaguchi_at_yukawa.kyoto-u.ac.jp; please replace "_at_". ) for any questions or comments about this calculator and its formulations.
