WATSON: Visual Vetting and Analysis of Transits of Space ObservatioNs
WATSON (Visual Vetting and Analysis of Transits from Space ObservatioNs) enables a comfortable visual vetting of transiting signal candidates from Kepler, K2, and TESS missions. The code looks for transit-like signals that could be generated by other sources or instrument artifacts and runs simplified tests on scenarios including transit shape model fit, odd-even transits checks, and centroids shifts. It also considers optical ghost effects, transit source offsets, and several other scenarios. WATSON then computes metrics and flags problematic signals.
