Fetch & plot light curves
Download multi-sector TESS photometry and stitch it into one interactive Plotly chart. Preview available sectors before you commit.
Fast Lightcurve Inspector pulls multi-sector TESS photometry from MAST, searches for periods, folds transits, and gives you the vetting tools to tell planets from eclipsing-binary false positives.

No downloads, no notebooks. Three steps, all in the browser.
Preview which sectors are available across QLP, SPOC, TESS-SPOC and GSFC ELEANOR-LITE, then download only what you need.
Stitch multi-sector light curves, run Lomb–Scargle and BLS periodograms, and phase-fold on the best period.
Check centroids, odd/even depths, secondary eclipses and nearby-star contamination to rule out false positives.
Everything the app can do — grouped the way you'd actually work through a target.

Run Lomb–Scargle and Box Least Squares periodograms. BLS returns the best period, duration and depth to seed the rest of your analysis.
Phase-fold on any period and epoch to sharpen a repeating signal — and auto-detect the epoch from the deepest transit.
Extract pixel-by-pixel light curves from the target pixel file and view median, in/out-of-transit and difference images to see where the flux drop comes from.
The core of the tool: a battery of checks to separate genuine planets from eclipsing-binary look-alikes — centroid motion in and out of transit, transit-to-transit consistency, secondary eclipses, and light from nearby stars.
Create a free account and start pulling TESS light curves in seconds. Built for exoplanet vetting, eclipsing binaries and variable-star work.
