To test the code, we produce a light curve for a cloudless Earth in a face-on orbit with a 90$^\circ$ obliquity.

We have previously derived analytic reflected lightcurves for spherical harmonic albedo maps in the special case of a synchronously-rotating planet on an edge-on orbit (Cowan, Fuentes & Haggard 2013).

Reflected light seen by a distant observer is the product of a planet's albedo map, its host star's illumination, and the visibility of different regions.
