At the https://tess.science/two meeting we started a project to build an open catalog of transiting exoplanet fits using the https://docs.exoplanet.codes software. The idea is that as new TOIs were discovered, this bot would download the data and automatically run a simple transit fit and publish a Jupyter notebook with the full fit results. Since then, the project has been dormant but it still seems like a nice idea!
The code needs to be updated (or completely re-written) to work with the current version of exoplanet Some experiments should be done with recent discoveries (depends on the first) Generalized to include fits for FFI candidates using eleanor, or something similar (doesn’t need to depend on the others) Generate links from ExoFOP-TESS to these notebooks? Pull the fits across in some automated way? (If desirable to put them alongside the community and TFOP fits currently hosted).
Reliably fitting transits; using FFI light curve tools like eleanor; experience with exoplanet/PyMC3/probabilistic modeling
