Welcome to the GSFC Exoplanet Modeling and Analysis Center (EMAC)

EMAC serves as a catalog, repository and integration platform for modeling and analysis resources focused on the study of exoplanet characteristics and environments. EMAC is a key project of the GSFC Sellers Exoplanet Environments Collaboration (SEEC).

If you've used EMAC in any part of your research, please cite our RNAAS paper either in your methods section or in the "Software used" portion of any manuscripts; see the FAQ for more information.

 Other EMAC info!
  • EMAC is intended as a clearinghouse for the whole research community interested in exoplanets, where any software or model developer can submit their tool/model or their model output as a contribution for others to use.
  • EMAC provides a searchable and sortable database for available source code and data output files - both resources hosted locally by EMAC as well as existing external tools and repositories hosted elsewhere.
  • The EMAC team also helps develop new web interfaces for tools that can be run “on-demand” or model grids that can be interpolated for more individualized results.
  • If you would like to submit a new tool/model to EMAC, please visit our Submit a Resource page.
  • For help with tutorials for select resources/tools use the “Demo” buttons below and subscribe to our YouTube channel.
  • Watch this video for a walk-through of the whole EMAC site, including how to submit a new tool and how to access information for each resource.

The P.I. is Avi Mandell, and the Deputy P.I. is Eric Lopez; more information on EMAC staffing and organization can be found on Our Team page.

ODUSSEAS is an automatic computational tool able to quickly and reliably derive the Teff and [Fe/H] of M dwarfs using optical spectra obtained by different spectrographs with different resolutions. It is based on the measurement of the pseudo equivalent widths for more than 4000 stellar absorption lines and on the use of the machine learning Python package “scikit-learn” for predicting the stellar parameters. It is able to derive parameters accurately and with high precision, having precision errors of ~30 K for Teff and ~0.04 dex for [Fe/H]. The results are consistent for spectra with resolutions of between 48000 and 115000 and a signal-to-noise ratio above 20.
