easyCHEM calculates chemical equilibrium abundances (including condensation) and adiabatic gradients by minimization of the so-called Gibbs free energy. Ancillary outputs are the atmospheric adiabatic temperature gradient and mean molar mass. Because easyCHEM incorporates the dgesv routine from LAPACK (ascl:2104.020) for fast matrix inversion,external math libraries are not required.

GRIP (Generic data Reduction for nulling Interferometry Package) reduces nulling data with enhanced statistical self-calibration methods from any nulling interferometric instrument within a single and consistent framework. The toolbox self-calibrates null depth measurements by fitting a model of the instrumental perturbations to histograms of data. The model is generated using a simulator of the instrument built into the package for the main operating nullers or provided by the user. GRIP handles baseline discrimination and spectral dispersion and features several optimizing strategy, including least squares, maximum likelihood, and MCMC with emcee (ascl:1303.002), and works on GPU using the cupy library.

DART-Vetter distinguishes planetary candidates from false positives detected in any transiting survey, and is tailored for photometric data collected from space-based missions. The Convolutional Neural Network is trained on Kepler and TESS Threshold Crossing Events (TCEs), and processes only light curves folded on the period of the relative signal. DART-Vetter has a simple and compact architecture; it is lightweight enough to be executed on personal laptops.

The excalibuhr end-to-end pipeline extracts high-resolution spectra designed for VLT/CRIRES+. The package preprocesses raw calibration files, including darks, flats, and lamp frames, and can trace spectral orders on 2D detector images. It applies calibrations to science frames, can remove the sky background by nodding subtraction, and combines frames per nodding position. excalibuhr can also extract 1D spectrum and perform wavelength and flux calibration.

Gen TSO estimates signal-to-noise ratios for transit/eclipse depths through an interactive graphical interface, similar to the JWST Exposure Time Calculator (ETC). This interface leverages the ETC by combining its noise simulator, Pandeia, with additional exoplanet resources from the NASA Exoplanet Archive, the Gaia DR3 catalog, and the TrExoLiSTS database of JWST programs. Gen TSO calculates S/Ns for all JWST instruments for the spectroscopic time-series modes available as of the Cycle 4 GO call. It also simulates target acquisition on the science targets or, when needed, on nearby stellar targets.

VBMicrolensing performs efficient computation in gravitational microlensing events using the advanced contour integration method, supporting single, binary and multiple lenses. It calculates magnification by single, binary and multiple lenses, centroid of the images generated by single and binary lenses, and critical curves and caustics of binary and multiple lenses. It also computes complete light curves including several higher order effects, such as limb darkening of the source, binary source, parallax, xallarap, and circular and elliptic orbital motion.

VBMicrolensing is written as a C++ library and wrapped as a Python package; the code can be called from either C++ or Python. This package encompasses VBBinaryLensing (ascl:1809.004), which is at the basis of several platforms for microlensing modeling. VBBinaryLensing will still be available as a legacy software, but will no longer be maintained.

TESS-cont quantifies the flux fraction coming from nearby stars in the TESS photometric aperture of any observed target. The package identifies the main contaminant Gaia DR2/DR3 sources, quantifies their individual and total flux contributions to the aperture, and determines whether any of these stars could be the origin of the observed transit and variability signals. Written in Python, TESS-cont is based on building the pixel response functions (PRFs) of nearby Gaia sources and computing their flux distributions across the TESS Target Pixel Files (TPFs) or Full Frame Images (FFIs).

SMART (Spectral Modeling Analysis and RV Tool) forward models spectral data. The method works best in those spectral orders with both strong telluric absorption features for accurate wavelength calibration and sufficient structure in the stellar spectrum to distinguish it from the telluric absorption. The code uses Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods to determine stellar parameters such as effective temperature, surface gravity, and rotational velocity, and calibration factors, including continuum and wavelength corrections, instrumental line-spread function (LSF), and strength of telluric absorption. SMART has been used with Keck/NIRSPEC, SDSS/APOGEE, Gemini/IGRINS high-resolution near-infrared spectrometers, among others, and with medium-resolution spectrometers, including Keck/OSIRIS and Keck/NIRES

The MAGIC (Microlensing Analysis Guided by Intelligent Computation) PyTorch framework efficiently and accurately infers the microlensing parameters of binary events with realistic data quality. The code divides binary microlensing parameters into two groups, which are inferred separately with different neural networks. The neural controlled differential equation handles light curves with irregular sampling and large data gaps. MAGIC can achieve fractional uncertainties of a few percent on the binary mass ratio and separation, and can locate the degenerate solutions even when large data gaps are introduced. As irregular samplings are common in astronomical surveys, this code may be useful for other time series studies.

Cumulative Time Dilation (CTD) calculates and plots the total time dilation experienced by a point (Earth) located at the center of a spherical mass-energy distribution. There are both analytical and numerical solutions for two different descriptions of how gravity acts across cosmological distances. The calculations are done for universes filled with a single energy type (dark energy; matter, including dark matter; or radiation) as well as the concordance model.
