ALDERAAN is a pipeline for Automatic Lightcurve Detrending, Exoplanet Recovery, and Analysis of Autocorrelated Noise.
The pipeline is currently capable of processing photometric lightcurve data from the Kepler Space Telescope, but in the future will be extended to handle data from K2 and TESS.
Detrending and transit fitting are optimized to detect low-amplitude transit timing variations (TTVs) and transit duration variations (TDVs). Autocorrelated noise arising from both instrumental and astrophysical sources is handled using a combination of narrow bandstop filters and Gaussian Process regression.
This software is powered by exoplanet

, celerite
, PyMC3
