The following transit-detection codes are currently supported by the pipeline prototype:
Two implementations are supported: the original FORTRAN implementation of Kovacs et al. (2002), and an optimised Python implementation by Dan Forman-Mackey.
QATS - Quasiperiodic Automated Transit Search (Carter & Agol 2018)
This code is publicly available from Eric Agol's website.
TLS - Transit Least Squares (Hippke & Heller 2019)
This code is publicly available from GitHub
The following codes were previously investigated as part of the EAS Baseline Algorithm testbench, but have not yet been ported to work in the new EAS pipeline prototype:
DST - Détection Spécialisée de Transits (Cabrera et al. 2018)
This code is not publicly available, and must be obtained from teh author as a tar archive, which is placed in the private_code directory.
Two implementations are supported: versions 26 (C) and version 29 (C++).
EXOTRANS (Grziwa et al. 2012)
This code is not publicly available, and must be obtained from the author. We are awaiting permission from the authors to use it within PLATO.
This code is developed and maintained by Dominic Ford, at the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge.
