Software

Our group develops and maintains several open-source software packages, primarily in the Julia programming language.

Demographics

ExoplanetsSysSim.jl

Forward modeling framework for exoplanet demographics. Used to characterize the architectures of planetary systems from Kepler data.

SysSimExClusters

Draw samples of planetary systems consistent with Kepler observations.

Extremely Precise Radial Velocities

GRASS

Granulation and Stellar Spectra Simulator. Simulates the effects of solar/stellar granulation on radial velocity measurements.

StellarSpectraObservationFitting.jl

Data-driven modeling of telluric features and stellar variability in high-resolution spectra.

SSOFApplication.jl

Examples applying StellarSpectraObservationFitting.jl (SSOF) to NEID observations.

Utilities

ExpectationMaximizationPCA.jl

Julia code for computing a "weighted" PCA using EM algorithm.

PlutoTeachingTools.jl

A collection of utilities to make Pluto notebooks more effective, particularly for creating educational tutorials.
