Abstract
We construct refined tropical enumerative genus zero invariants of toric surfaces that specialize to the tropical descendant genus zero invariants introduced by Markwig and Rau when the quantum parameter tends to 1. In the case of trivalent tropical curves our invariants turn to be the Göttsche–Schroeter refined broccoli invariants. We show that this is the only possible refinement of the Markwig–Rau descendant invariants that generalizes the Göttsche–Schroeter refined broccoli invariants. We discuss also the computational aspect (a lattice path algorithm) and exhibit some examples.
