LcTools for Analyzing TESS, K2, and Kepler Light Curves

Hello Everyone,

I am the author of a large-scale Windows based software system called LcTools for viewing and analyzing light curves for the TESS, K2, and Kepler projects. The LcTools system consists of four major applications:

• LcViewer for viewing (plotting) light curves graphically and for finding, recording, measuring, displaying, and phase folding signals of interest.
• LcSignalFinder for detecting and recording signals found in large batches of light curves (typically 20,000-50,000 files per batch). Signals may be periodic or single events, dips or peaks of any type.
• LcGenerator for building light curve files in bulk for use with LcViewer and LcSignalFinder.
• LcReporter for creating an Excel report listing the user defined signals recorded by LcViewer.

In conjunction with the software, pre-built light curve files for use with LcViewer and LcSignalFinder may be downloaded from the LcTools website. Both the software and data assets are free for registered LcTools users.

The AAVSO community may find LcTools useful for detecting major stellar events in the TESS, K2, and Kepler datasets. For more information on the system, see the published research paper and the LcTools Product Description. To request the product for use, please contact me at aschmitt@comcast.net .

Al Schmitt
