Exoplanet and Astrobiology ========================== - **Just started** - **Help wanted**: I am not very familiar with this topic, but it clearly has become one of the most important field in astronomy. -------------- Transient Detection ------------------- - `exoplanet - Fast & scalable MCMC for all your exoplanet needs `__ - **exoplanet** is a toolkit for probabilistic modeling of transit and/or radial velocity observations of exoplanets and other astronomical time series using PyMC3. - By `Dan Foreman-Mackey `__. - `pysyzygy - A fast and general planet transit (syzygy) code written in C and in Python `__ - `tls - An optimized transit-fitting algorithm to search for periodic transits of small planets `__ - By Michael Hippke. Based on this `paper `__ - **TLS** searches for transit-like features with stellar limb-darkening and including the effects of planetary ingress and egress - `planetplanet - A general photodynamical code for exoplanet light curves `__ - By `Rodrigo Luger `__. A general photodynamical code for modeling exoplanet transits, secondary eclipses, phase curves, and exomoons, as well as eclipsing binaries, circumbinary planets, and more - `PyLDTk - Python Limb Darkening Toolkit `__ - a Python toolkit for calculating stellar limb darkening profiles and model-specific coefficients for arbitrary passbands using the stellar spectrum model library by Husser et al (2013) - `VESPA - Validation of Exoplanet Signals using a Probabilistic Algorithm `__ - By Timothy Morton. It calculats false positive probabilities for transit signals - `juliet - a versatile modelling tool for transiting and non-transiting exoplanetary systems `__ - By Néstor Espinoza. Based on the paper `Espinoza et al. 2018 `__ - `exonailer - Tools for fitting transiting exoplanet lightcurves and radial velocities `__ - By Néstor Espinoza. The EXOplanet traNsits and rAdIal veLocity fittER (**EXO-NAILER**), is an easy-to-use code that allows you to efficiently fit exoplanet transit lightcurves, radial velocities (RVs) or both. - `batman - Bad-Ass Transit Model cAlculatioN `__ - **batman**, a Python package for fast calculation of exoplanet transit light curves. - Based on `the paper by Laura Kreidberg `__ Direct Imaging -------------- - `PynPoint - Pipeline for processing and analysis of high-contrast imaging data `__ - **PynPoint** is a generic, end-to-end pipeline for the data reduction and analysis of high-contrast imaging data of planetary and substellar companions, as well as circumstellar disks in scattered light. - `Online document can be found here `__ - `orbitize - Orbit-fitting for directly imaged objects `__ Radial Velocity --------------- - `wobble - precise data-driven RV fitting, now with tellurics `__ - By `Megan Bedell `__ **wobble** is an open-source python package for analyzing time-series spectra. It was designed with stabilized extreme precision radial velocity (EPRV) spectrographs in mind, but is highly flexible and extensible to a variety of applications. - `radvel - General Toolkit for Modeling Radial Velocity Data `__ - Based on the publication by `Fulton et al. 2018 `__ Planet Atmosphere ----------------- - `PandExo - A Community Tool for Transiting Exoplanet Science with the JWST & HST `__ - Tools to help the community with planning exoplanet observations - By `Natasha Batalha `__
