A self-organizing map (SOM) can be used to identify planetary candidates from Kepler and K2 datasets with accuracies near 90% in distinguishing known Kepler planets from false positives. TransitSOM classifies a Kepler or K2 lightcurve using a self-organizing map (SOM) created and pre-trained using PyMVPA (ascl:1703.009). It includes functions for users to create their own SOMs.
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).
