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

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

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."
