For the last few months I have been creating a Python package that allows people to analysis data for eclipsing binary stars. These programs have been specifically created for the usage of Ball State University researchers in mind however, I want these to be potentially used by other researchers. If anyone would be willing to try some of these out and leave feedback on GitHub or here that would be greatly appreciated (https://github.com/kjkoeller/Binary_Star_Research_Package) and some of the analysis being done include:

O-C analysis

O’Connell Effect

(B-V) (V-R) color index values in the Johnson band filters.

100% automated IRAF data reduction

Automatic TESS data download for individual systems
