coronagraph_noise simulates coronagraph noise. Written in IDL, the code includes a generalized coronagraph routine and simulators for the WFIRST Shaped Pupil Coronagraph in both spectroscopy and imaging modes. Functions available include stellar and planetary flux functions, planet photon and zodiacal light count rates, planet-star flux ratio, and clock induced charge count rate, among others. coronagraph_noise also includes routines to smooth a plot by convolving with a Gaussian profile to convolve a spectrum with a given instrument resolution and to take a spectrum that is specified at high spectral resolution and degrade it to a lower resolution. A Python implementation of coronagraph_noise, coronagraph (ascl:2405.019), is also available.

CHIMERA (CaltecH Inverse ModEling and Retrieval Algorithms) retrieves exoplanet atmospheres, and can be used for both transmission and emission geometries with options for both the "free" and "chemically consistent" abundance retrievals. The code uses correlated-K opacities (R=100) with the random-overlap resort-rebin procedure and includes full multiple scattering in emission (both planetary and stellar reflected light) using a two stream approximation variant. CHIMERA includes multiple Bayesian samplers, including PyMultiNest (ascl:1606.005) and dynesty (ascl:1809.013).
