TESS photometry retrieval and analysis

Here are links to a few useful tools to aid with the retrieval and analysis of TESS data, and other auxiliary tools:

Web TESS Viewing Tool (WTV): This useful web-based tool can help determine in which sector(s) a given target has been observed. It also accepts lists of targets. Furthermore, it can also estimate errors on the TESS magnitude of an object based on other magnitude measurements.

Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST): This link will redirect you to the main MAST page for TESS. From there, you can access several useful tools such as the MAST portal, Astroquery and TESScut (to create cutouts of full-frame images and download them).

lightkurve: A useful Python package to download, reduce and analyze photometric data from both the Kepler and TESS missions.

eleanor: Another Python-based tool to download, analyze and visualize TESS data from full-frame images.
