  VStar is a multi-platform, free, open source application
  for visualizing and analyzing time-series data. It is
  primarily intended for use with variable star
  observations, permitting light curves and phase plots to
  be created, viewed in tabular form, filtered, and
  analyzed. Period search, model creation, and
  time-frequency analysis are supported. Data can be loaded
  from the AAVSO International Database and various other
  sources. VStar's feature set can be expanded via plug-ins,
  for example, to read Kepler or Gaia mission data.
