We derive analytic, closed-form solutions for the light curve of a planet transiting a star with a limb -darkening profile that is a polynomial function of the stellar elevation, up to an arbitrary integer order. We provide improved analytic expressions for the uniform, linear, and quadratic limb -darkened cases, as well as novel expressions for higher-order integer powers of limb darkening. The formulae are crafted to be numerically stable over the expected range of usage. We additionally present analytic formulae for the partial derivatives of instantaneous flux with respect to the radius ratio, impact parameter, and limb -darkening coefficients. These expressions are rapid to evaluate and compare quite favorably in speed and accuracy to existing transit light -curve codes. We also use these expressions to numerically compute the first partial derivatives of exposure-time -averaged transit light curves with respect to all model parameters. An additional application is modeling eclipsing binary or eclipsing multiple star systems in cases where the stars may be treated as spherically symmetric. We provide code which implements these formulae in C++, Python, IDL, and Julia, with tests and examples of usage (https://githuh.com4rodluger4Limhdark.j1).
