SWAMPE: A Shallow-Water Atmospheric Model in Python for Exoplanets

Landgren, E. and Nadeau, A.

SWAMPE is a Python package for modeling the dynamics of exoplanetary atmospheres. SWAMPE is an intermediate-complexity, two-dimensional shallow-water general circulation model. Benchmarked for synchronously rotating hot Jupiters and sub-Neptunes, the code is modular and could be easily modified to model dissimilar space objects, from Brown Dwarfs to terrestrial, potentially habitable exoplanets. SWAMPE can be easily run on a personal laptop.

Bioverse: Simulation framework for Bayesian hypothesis testing of statistical exoplanet missions

Alex Bixel et al.

Bioverse is a quantitative framework for assessing the diagnostic power of a statistical exoplanet survey. It combines Gaia-based stellar samples with Kepler-derived exoplanet demographics and a mission simulator that enables exploration of a variety of observing, follow-up, and characterization strategies. Uniquely, Bioverse contains a versatile module for population-level hypothesis testing supporting trade studies and survey optimization. It currently supports direct imaging or transit missions, but its modularity makes it adaptable to any mission concept that makes measurements on a sample of exoplanets.

ExoCcycleGeo: Geophysical and geochemical controls on abiotic carbon cycling on Earth-like planets

Neveu, M. et al.

This model of geological carbon fluxes leverages widely used geochemical codes of solid-melt equilibria for silicate rocks (MELTS) and of equilibria and kinetics of water-rock interactions (PHREEQC). Coupled with a simple numerical computation of global thermal evolution, this model enables investigation of the effects of planet size (mass) and bulk, surface, and upper mantle composition on carbon cycling through geologic time. Its applicable size range (0.5 to 2 Earth masses) is limited by the fidelity of the geodynamic model. The applicable range of compositions is limited by those that can be handled by MELTS and PHREEQC.

MATRIX ToolKit: ToolKit for Multi-phAse Transits Recovery from Injected eXoplanets

Dévora-Pajares, Martín & Pozuelos, Francisco J.

The MATRIX ToolKit has been specially designed to establish detection limits of photometry data sets by performing robust injection-and-recovery analyses on a three dimensional grid of scenarios (orbital period vs planetary radius vs transit epoch). This kind of scientific detection threshold determination can now be done with a simple python command with the significant addition of taking into account different transit epochs, which helps to establish a more reliable detection rate for a given period and radius.

Butterpy: realistic star spot evolution and light curves in Python

Claytor, Zachary R. et al.

Butterpy is a Python-based tool for simulating star spot emergence, evolution, and decay as well as stellar rotational light curves. It is adapted from the physically motivated model used by Aigrain et al. (2015, MNRAS, 450, 3211) to test the recovery of stellar rotation periods using different frequency analysis techniques. Butterpy allows the user to simulate light curves of stars with variable activity level, rotation period, spot lifetime, magnetic cycle duration and overlap, spot emergence latitudes, and latitudinal differential rotation shear. The name Butterpy is a portmanteau of "butterfly" (like the solar butterfly diagram) and "Python."

Kiauhoku is a Python package for interacting with, interpolating, and fitting stellar evolutionary tracks to observational data. It includes popular stellar model grids like MIST, Dartmouth, and GARSTEC, as well as a few custom YREC grids, with more being added over time.
From Hawaiian:
 1. vt. To sense the span of a star's existence (i.e., its age).
 2. n. The speed of a star (in this case, its rotational speed).
This name was created in partnership with Dr. Larry Kimura and Bruce Torres Fischer, a student participant in A Hua He Inoa, a program to bring Hawaiian naming practices to new astronomical discoveries. We are grateful for their collaboration.

 1. vt. To sense the span of a star's existence (i.e., its age).
 2. n. The speed of a star (in this case, its rotational speed).
This name was created in partnership with Dr. Larry Kimura and Bruce Torres Fischer, a student participant in A Hua He Inoa, a program to bring Hawaiian naming practices to new astronomical discoveries. We are grateful for their collaboration.

Molecfit: A general tool for telluric absorption correction

Smette et al., Kausch et al.

Molecfit is a tool to correct for telluric absorption lines based on synthetic modelling of the Earth’s atmospheric transmission. It can be used with data obtained with various ground-based telescopes and instruments. It combines a publicly available radiative transfer code, a molecular line database, atmospheric profiles, and various kernels to model the instrument LSF. The atmospheric profiles are created by merging a standard atmospheric profile representative of a given observatory’s climate, of local meteorological data, and of dynamically retrieved altitude profiles for temperature, pressure, and humidity.

Optimal BLS: Optimally-efficient code for transit searches in long time series

Aviv Ofir

Explicitly including Keplerian dynamics in the transit search allows Optimal BLS to enhance transit detectability while allowing such searches to be done with much-reduced resources and time. By using the (standard) BLS, one is either fairly insensitive to long-period planets or less sensitive to short-period planets and computationally slower by a significant factor of ~330 (for a 3 yr long dataset). Physical system parameters, such as the host star's size and mass, directly affect transit search. This understanding can then be used to optimize the search for every star individually. The code is well-used by the community.

pyPplusS: Fast and precise light-curve model for transiting exoplanets with rings

Eden Rein and Aviv Ofir

The Polygon + Segments model allows modeling the light curve of an exoplanet with rings. This high-precision model includes full ring geometry as well as possible ring transparency and the host star’s limb darkening. Additionally, it can model oblate ringless planets as an opaque “ring” (same shape as a planet). pyPplusS is also computationally efficient, requiring just a 1D integration over a small range, making it faster than existing techniques. The algorithm at its core is further generalized to compute the light curve of any set of convex primitive shapes in transit (e.g. multiple planets, oblate planets, moons, rings, combination thereof, etc.) while accounting for their overlaps.

FORECAST: Finely Optimised REtrieval of Companions of Accelerating STars

M. Bonavita, R. Gratton, C. Fontanive, A. Sozzetti

A significant proper motion difference between two catalogues for a given star is a good indication of the presence of a perturbing body. FORECAST allows you to identify the region where a companion compatible with the measured Δμ should appear if the star is directly imaged. It also provides an estimate of the mass of the companion compatible with the astrometric signal at each position in the allowed region. FORECAST maps can be used both to identify and confirm potential direct imaged sub-stellar candidates.

Exo-DMC (Exoplanet Detection Map Calculator) is a Monte Carlo tool for the statistical analysis of exoplanet surveys results. It combines the information on the target stars with the instrument detection limits to estimate the probability of detection of a given synthetic planet population, ultimately generating detection probability maps. The Exo-DMC is the latest (although the first one in Python) rendition of the MESS (Multi-purpose Exoplanet Simulation System). Like MESS, the DMC allows for a high level of flexibility in terms of possible assumptions on the synthetic planet population to be used for the determination of the detection probability.

Michael Gully-Santiago & Caroline V. Morley

Blasé introduces a powerful new approach to whole-spectrum fitting: clone 10,000+ spectral lines from a precomputed synthetic spectral model template, and then learn the perturbations to those lines through comparison to real data. Each spectral line has 4 parameters, yielding possibly 40,000+ parameters. The technique hinges on the magic of autodiff, the enabling technology behind Machine Learning, to tune all of those parameters precisely and quickly. The tool has conceivable extensions to Doppler imaging, Precision RV's, abundances, and more. It is built in PyTorch, with native GPU support.

The TESS Triple-9 (TT9) Catalog: 999 uniformly vetted TESS candidate exoplanets

Luca Cacciapuoti et al.

The TESS Triple 9 Catalog (TT9, in short) contains dispositions for 999 candidate exoplanetary signals detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). These signals were classified as Planet Candidate (PC), False Positive (FP) or Potential False Positive (PFP) based on TESS data (both light curves and images) as well as ancillary information such as stellar catalog. The data has been analyzed using the DAVE pipeline (https://github.com/exoplanetvetting/DAVE) and with the aid of Citizen Science, through the NASA funded Planet Patrol project (https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/marckuchner/planet-patrol).

ALMA: A Fortran program for computing the viscoelastic Love numbers of a spherically symmetric planet

Melini, D., Saliby, C., Spada, G.

ALMA is a Fortran code that computes loading and tidal Love numbers for a spherically symmetric, radially stratified, incompressible planet. ALMA can evaluate i) real (time-domain) Love numbers and their time derivatives for a Heaviside or ramp-shaped forcing time history, or ii) complex (frequency-domain) Love numbers for a periodic forcing. The planetary structure can include an arbitrary number of homogeneous layers, and each layer can have a different rheological law. ALMA can model the following linear rheologies: Elastic, Maxwell visco-elastic, Newtonian viscous fluid, Kelvin-Voigt solid, Burgers and Andrade transient rheologies. Additional rheological laws can be easily implemented.

The l1 periodogram is designed to search for periodicities in unevenly sampled time series. It can be used similarly as a Lomb-Scargle periodogram, and retrieves a figure which has a similar aspect but has fewer peaks due to aliasing. It is primarily designed for the search of exoplanets in radial velocity data, but can be also used for other purposes. It is based the sparse recovery technique called "Basis Pursuit" (Chen & Donoho 1998).

Magnitude-squared coherence: Frequency-domain view of the cross-correlation between RV and activity indicator time series

Dodson-Robinson, S. E., et al.

NWelch is a python3 implementation of Welch's method for estimating the magnitude-squared coherence (MSC) between contemporaneous RV and activity-indicator time series. While it's impossible to directly calculate the cross-correlation between two unevenly sampled time series, we can use a nonuniform fast Fourier transform to estimate the frequency-domain version of their cross-correlation - the MSC. Observers should be suspicious of planet candidates at frequencies with high MSC. For univariate time series (for example, RV only), Welch's method can deliver power spectrum estimates with lower variance than the Lomb-Scargle periodogram.

FitsMap: A Simple, Lightweight Tool For Displaying Interactive Astronomical Image and Catalog Data

Ryan Hausen and Brant E. Robertson

The visual inspection of image and catalog data continues to be a valuable aspect of astronomical data analysis. As the scale of astronomical image and catalog data continues to grow, visualizing the data becomes increasingly difficult. In this work, we introduce FitsMap, a simple, lightweight tool for visualizing astronomical image and catalog data. FitsMap only requires a simple web server and can scale to over gigapixel images with tens of millions of sources. Further, the web-based visualizations can be viewed performantly on mobile devices. FitsMap is implemented in Python and is open source (https://github.com/ryanhausen/fitsmap).

SteParSyn: A Bayesian code to infer stellar atmospheric parameters using spectral synthesis

Tabernero, H. M. et al.

SteParSyn is a Python code designed to infer the stellar atmospheric parameters Teff, log(g), and [Fe/H] of late-type stars (FGKM) using the spectral synthesis method. It uses a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampler to explore the parameter space by comparing synthetic spectra to the observations. The code has been employed to study stars in open clusters, cepheids, stars in the Magellanic clouds, exoplanet hosts observed with ESPRESSO and CARMENES, and to characterize the first super-AGB candidate in our Galaxy. The code is available to the community in a GitHub repository.

PyExoRaMa: An Interactive Tool in Python to Investigate the Radius-Mass Diagram for Exoplanets

Amadori, F.; Damasso, M.; Zeng, L.; Sozzetti, A.

This is the python version of the software originally developed with Mathematica by Zeng et al (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5899463). The code represents a useful tool for visualizing and manipulating data related to extrasolar planets and their host stars in a multi-dimensional parameter space. It can be used to identify possible interdependence among several physical parameters and to compare observables with theoretical models describing the exoplanet composition and structure. Our transposition to Python presents some new features with respect to the original version

special: SPEctral Characterization of ImAged Low-mass companions

Valentin Christiaens

special is a package developed for the spectral characterization of directly imaged low-mass companions (MLT dwarfs). Nonetheless, this toolkit can also be used in a more general way for the characterisation of any object with a measured spectrum, provided an input model or template grid. The available tools range from the calculation of spectral covariance matrices (e.g. for IFS datacubes) and empirical spectral indices to the Bayesian inference of atmospheric parameters provided an input grid of models. In the latter case, an MCMC or nested sampler can be used, and additional parameters such as (extra) black body component(s) and extinction can be considered.

GENGA: A GPU N-body integrator for planet formation and planetary system evolution

Simon Grimm, Joachim Stadel

GENGA is a hybrid symplectic N-body integrator, designed to integrate planet and planetesimal dynamics in the late stage of planet formation and stability analysis of planetary systems. GENGA is based on the integration scheme of the Mercury code (Chambers 1999), which handles close encounters with very good energy conservation. The GENGA code supports three simulation modes: Integration of up to 60000 - 100000 massive bodies, integration with up to a million test particles, or parallel integration of a large number of individual planetary systems. GENGA is written in CUDA C and runs on all NVidia GPUs with compute capability of at least 2.0.

SOAP 2.0: RV stellar activity simulation including spot and faculae

X. Dumusque, I. Boisse, N.Santos

SOAP 2.0 allows to model the RV effect (and the effect on the FWHM, CONTRAST and BIS SPAN of the CCF) induced by magnetic regions (spot and faculae) on the surface of a star. The temperature of the magnetic features, their size, their location on the stellar surface, the resolution of the instrument used, the stellar properties (radius, effective temperature, inclination), are all parameters that can be adjusted. The code is efficient, as all the backend computation are performed in C, and is friendly to use as the interface is in python.

NbodyGradient: Differentiable symplectic N-body code for arbitrary orbital architectures

Agol, E., Hernandez, D. & Langford, Z.

NbodyGradient is a symplectic integrator for Newtonian gravity and arbitrary N-body hierarchies. It computes the derivatives of the output with respect to the input coordinates with high numerical precision. It was developed for transit-timing analyses, and is the first code to give derivatives of the transit times with respect to the initial conditions (either masses & cartesian coordinates/velocities or orbital elements). It is written in the Julia language. It is being extended for modeling RV, astrometry, and photodynamics.

S.R. Hildebrandt and S.B. Shaklan are the principal authors of SISTER

The Starshade Imaging Simulations tool is a versatile tool designed to provide enough accuracy and variety when predicting how an exoplanet system would look like in an instrument that utilizes an Starshade to block the light from the host star. The tool allows for controlling a set of parameters of the whole instrument that have to do with: (1) the Starshade design, (2) the exoplanetary system, (3) the optical system (telescope) and (4) the detector (camera). There is a built-in plotting software added, but the simulations may be stored on disk and be plotted with any other software. SISTER has an online tutorial and has been published in JATIS. Visit sister.caltech.edu for details.

Spectools_ir is a small suite of tools designed for analysis of medium/high-resolution IR molecular astronomical spectra. It consists of three main sub-modules (flux_calculator, slabspec, and slab_fitter) as well as a 'utils' sub-module, with a few additional functions. Spectools_ir was written with infrared medium/high-resolution molecular spectroscopy in mind. It often assumes spectra are in units of Jy and microns, and it uses information from the HITRAN molecular database. Some routines are more general, but users interested in other applications should proceed with caution.

dips: Detrending strictly periodic signals

A. Prsa

dips is an algorithm for detrending timeseries of strictly periodic signals. It does not assume any functional form for the signal or the background or the noise; it disentangles the strictly periodic component from everything else. We use it in astronomy for detrending Kepler, K2 and TESS timeseries of periodic variable stars, eclipsing binary stars, exoplanets etc. The algorithm is described in detail in Prša, Zhang and Wells (2019), PASP 131, 8001. A new, generalized version of dips will be explained in Horvat and Prša (2022), currently in preparation.

RADIS uses a new algorithm that can resolve spectra with millions of lines within seconds on a single-CPU, and can be GPU-accelerated for almost-instant-computation (up to 5e14 lines*spectral points/s). It supports HITRAN, HITEMP and ExoMol out-of-the-box (auto-download), and therefore is particularly suitable to compute cross-sections or transmission spectra at high-temperature. It includes equilibrium calculations for all species, and non-LTE for CO2 and CO. The code is an open-source Python library (https://github.com/radis/radis) and can also be executed in an online environment with pre-configured HITEMP databases (https://radis.github.io/radis-lab/).
