Exovetter
Exovetter is an open-source, pip-installable python package which calculates metrics on high cadence time series photometry to distinguish between exoplanet transit signals and false positives. The package standardizes the implementation of metrics developed for the TESS, Kepler, and K2 missions such as Odd-Even, Multiple Event Statistic, and Centroid Offset (see “Planetary Candidates Observed by Kepler. VIII.”, Thompson et al. 2018.). Metrics can be run individually or together as part of a pipeline. Exovetter also includes several visualizations to further evaluate the transits and metrics.

DAVE: Discovery And Vetting of K2 Exoplanets
DAVE implements a pipeline to find and vet planets planets using data from NASA's K2 mission. The pipeline contains several modules tailored to particular aspects of the vetting procedures, using photocenter analysis to rule out background eclipsing binaries and flux time-series analysis to rule out odd–even differences, secondary eclipses, low-S/N events, variability other than a transit, and size of the transiting object.

K2fov: Field of view software for NASA's K2 mission
K2fov allows users to transform celestial coordinates into K2's pixel coordinate system for the purpose of preparing target proposals and field of view visualizations. In particular, the package, written in Python, adds the "K2onSilicon" and "K2findCampaigns" tools to the command line, allowing the visibility of targets to be checked in a user-friendly way.

Wqed: Lightcurve Analysis Suite
Wqed (pronounced "Wicked") is a set of tools developed by the Delaware Asteroseismic Research Center (DARC) to simplify the process of reducing time-series CCD data on variable stars. It does not provide tools to measure the brightness of stars in individual frames, focusing instead on what comes next:
- selecting and removing data lost to cloud,
- removing the effects of light cloud and seeing variations,
- keeping track of what star a given data set refers to, and when that data was taken, and
- performing barycentric corrections to data.
