Exoplanetary atmospheres reveal key information about planet formation, evolution, and habitability.

Ground-based high-resolution (HR; GIANO-B, HARPS-N, IGRINS, CRIRES+) and space-based low-resolution (LR; JWST, HST) observations probe complementary depths.

We present GUIBRUSHR (Graphic User Interface for Bayesian Retrieval Using Spectroscopy at High Resolution), a comprehensive Python 3.10+ package that unifies these capabilities into a single framework with an intuitive tkinter-based GUI. The tool integrates a local SQLite3 database for organized operation tracking and covers the complete atmospheric characterization workflow through dedicated modular tabs: unified parameter configuration, telluric removal via PCA with customizable settings, cross-correlation analysis for HR datasets, forward model generation, Bayesian retrieval analysis using parallelized differential evolution Markov chain Monte Carlo (DE-MCMC), and synthetic HR dataset generation. GUIBRUSHR enables simultaneous analysis of multi-resolution and multi-instrument datasets, combining HR ground-based observations with LR space-based data to leverage their complementary strengths. The retrieval framework and the forward model module use petitRADTRANS v3.0 as the radiative transfer engine. The user-friendly interface removes the burden of managing multiple configuration files, offering one-click workflows for complex multi-step analyses with clear diagnostic visualizations. Results, retrieval settings, and system parameters are automatically organized in a structured directory tree and database, ensuring easy data access and reproducibility. GUIBRUSHR is built to handle today's large datasets and scale to future instruments (ANDES@ELT, ARIEL), while remaining flexible for new techniques and methodologies.

Abstract

Exoplanetary atmospheres reveal key information about planet formation, evolution, and habitability. Spectroscopy at different orbital phases probes chemical composition, thermal structure, and physical processes. Ground-based high-resolution (HR; GIANO-B, HARPS-N, IGRINS, CRIRES+) and space-based low-resolution (LR; JWST, HST) observations probe complementary depths. However, characterization requires separate tools: telluric and stellar contamination removal, radiative transfer, and Bayesian inference. We present GUIBRUSHR (Graphic User Interface for Bayesian Retrieval Using Spectroscopy at High Resolution), a comprehensive Python 3.10+ package that unifies these capabilities into a single framework with an intuitive tkinter-based GUI. The tool integrates a local SQLite3 database for organized operation tracking and covers the complete atmospheric characterization workflow through dedicated modular tabs: unified parameter configuration, telluric removal via PCA with customizable settings, cross-correlation analysis for HR datasets, forward model generation, Bayesian retrieval analysis using parallelized differential evolution Markov chain Monte Carlo (DE-MCMC), and synthetic HR dataset generation. GUIBRUSHR enables simultaneous analysis of multi-resolution and multi-instrument datasets, combining HR ground-based observations with LR space-based data to leverage their complementary strengths. The retrieval framework and the forward model module use petitRADTRANS v3.0 as the radiative transfer engine. The user-friendly interface removes the burden of managing multiple configuration files, offering one-click workflows for complex multi-step analyses with clear diagnostic visualizations. Results, retrieval settings, and system parameters are automatically organized in a structured directory tree and database, ensuring easy data access and reproducibility. GUIBRUSHR is built to handle today's large datasets and scale to future instruments (ANDES@ELT, ARIEL), while remaining flexible for new techniques and methodologies.
