Quadrupolar and Hexadecapolar approximations of binary-lens magnification

Compute the binary-lens magnification for a: point-source (A0), quadrupole (A2) and Hexadecapole (A4) approximations using the method by Cassan (2017).

from microlensing import multipoles
multipoles.example()

Q factors entering the expansion of z(zeta) of the lens equation

Compute the Q_(p-n,n) factors (p>=3) from Cassan (2017). This function is currently working for python 2 only.

from microlensing import Rkp
Rkp.Q(3)
