cds-question@unistra.frastronomical-modelsstellar-atmosphereswhite-dwarf-starseclipsing-binary-starsWe present extensive calculations of linear and nonlinear limb-darkening coefficients as well as complete intensity profiles appropriate for modeling the light-curves of eclipsing white dwarfs. We compute limb-darkening coefficients in the Johnson-Kron-Cousins UBVRI photometric system as well as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) ugrizy system using the most up to date model atmospheres available. In all, we provide the coefficients for seven different limb-darkening laws. We describe the variations of these coefficients as a function of the atmospheric parameters, including the effects of convection at low effective temperatures. Finally, we discuss the importance of having readily available limb-darkening coefficients in the context of present and future photometric surveys like the LSST, Palomar Transient Factory, and the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS). The LSST, for example, may find ~10^5^ eclipsing white dwarfs. The limb-darkening calculations presented here will be an essential part of the detailed analysis of all of these systems.2013ApJ...766....3Ghttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/766/3CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicerelated-toII/183 : UBVRI Photometric Standards (Landolt 1992)J/A+A/556/A86 : FGK dwarf stars limb darkening coefficients (Neilson+, 2013)J/A+A/510/A21 : Stellar Limb-Darkening Coefficients (Sing, 2010)J/ApJ/723/1072 : The ELM survey.
