Exoplanets

Planet Detection

Lightkurve: A utility for downloading & analyzing light curves and target pixel files from Kepler, K-2, and TESS; (Python)
MulensModel: Modeling software for microlensing events; Poleski & Yi 2019(Python)
RVSearch: Uses models calculated by RadVel to search observations for periodic rv signals; Rosenthal et al. 2021 (Python)
Wotan: Contains dozens of algorithms for reducing, detrending, and analyzing light curve data; Hippke et al. 2019 (Python)

Dynamical Modeling

RadVel: Keplerian modeling for exoplanet characterization based on radial velocity data; Fulton et al. 2018 (Python)

Composition and Spectrum Modeling

EXOFASTv2: Powerful modeling software capable of modeling a planetary system based on input RV, transit, and astrometric data, as well as characterize the system's host star. Also offers a decent set of tutorials for new users; Eastman et al. 2019 (IDL)
petitRADTRANS: Software for computing transmission and emission spectra of exoplanets; Molliere et al. 2019 (Python)
