Page 13 of https://arxiv.org/pdf/1701.04817v1.pdf says:

4.4. Light Curve Fitting and Detrending
"The settings in the figure produce the light curve model fit shown in the example plot of Figure 7. The transiting exoplanet model is described in Mandel & Agol (2002). The transit is modeled as an eclipse of a spherical star by an opaque planetary sphere."
