Eleanor: "Common tool for producing light curves from 30-min TESS data"

https://adina.feinste.in/eleanor/

Emcee: "MCMC package written by Dan Foreman-Mackey, used in a lot of the other suggested package, but convenient for writing your own mcmc routine"

Exofop TESS: "Database of all TESS TOIs with relevant discovery/follow up observations and data"

https://exofop.ipac.caltech.edu/tess/

Exoplanet: "Similar to Allesfitter can be employed to fit a cariety of stellar objects and physical phenomena, the package uses theano and pymc3 for Bayesian analysis."

https://docs.exoplanet.codes/en/stable/

General Catalog of Variable Stars (GCVS): "Useful to check if a particular star is a known variable star (also could be done through Aladin)."

https://www.arcsecond.io/

Juliet: "Transit and RV fitting package like allesfitter"

https://juliet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Lightkurve: "Very nice tool for retrieving Kepler & TESS photometry, performing preliminary analyses (flattening, normalizing, sigma clipping, folding, etc., also has libraries for conducting frequency analysis."

https://docs.lightkurve.org/

MCMCI (MCMC + Isochrones): "By Andrea Bonfanti and Michael Gillon. It's a fast Fortran code to make RV and photometry fits with a possibility to use isochrone placement algorithm to characterise the host star."

https://github.com/Bonfanti88/MCMCI

NASA Exoplanet Archive: "Repository for large database on published exoplanetary system parameters, has a nice transit observability predictor, and an online interface to ExoFAST (transit and RV fitter like allesfitter and juliet, but written in ID"

https://rodluger.github.io/starry/latest/

Transit Least Square: "Transit fitting algorithm, unlike Box least squares algorithm, its geometrical transit model is limb-darkened light curve with presence of ingress and egress, can be used to search for periodic signals (and assess how likely it is that those signals are real."
