Description

TESS is now routinely discovering new exoplanets and candidates. Detailed analysis of the TESS lightcurves is necessary to select the best candidates for Radial Velocities (RV) follow-up, as we cannot observe all TOIs due to the instrument time required. We developed a modular tool called FULMAR (Follow-Up Lightcurves Multitool Assisting Radial velocities) to help with this process. Our code compiles available TESS lightcurves for any selected target.  It can filter the activity using different methods (such as Savitzky-Golay filtering, Gaussian Processes), compute the rotation period of the star using Gaussian Processes, search for transits in the cleaned lightcurve  using the transit least-squares (TLS) algorithm and probe signals that were detected with RV. FULMAR aims at helping astronomers involved in RV Follow-up of TESS candidates and future photometric surveys.
