Tools for transit and radial velocity modeling and analysis

Abstract

An overview over analysis or modelling tools related to the radial velocity and transit methods for exoplanet detection and characterization is given, with over 40 software tools presented. Tools that cover related subjects, such as physical exoplanet modelling, stellar activity, limb darkening, or stellar parameter estimates, are included as well. All presented tools have been verified to be publicly available, although inoperative software repositories were not uncommon. This issue needs to be addressed, with some of the existing solutions for long-term storage to be considered.
