Abstract
In this work, we present our attempt to develop a code for creating a lunar occultation light curve model by using Bayesian inference method. We describe the mathematical formulae behind the method, our approximation by incorporating a total transmission curve of the telescope and camera system and also a blackbody profile of the occulted stars by the Moon. We also generate synthetic data and test our model to get predetermined parameters.
