This file contains the set of TESS targets that were searched as part of multi-sector searches, and some additional information on each target's TCE and DV status as part of the run. Note: As observers begin to follow up TOIs, some will be classified as false positives on ExoFOP-TESS.All users of TESS data are encouraged to follow the best practices underlined in the TESS publication policy should be followed. However, a reduced TOI list with only the main parameters can also be downloaded from the database. The TESS Science Office (TSO) releases TOIs as a service to the community. If an object is removed from the TIC in later versions, a new object will never inherit an old ID.4 Disposition Disposition. TOI Releases are lists ofTESS Objects of Interest (TOIs). Note that for multi-sector data release notes, an additional file, called a "target info table", is included in text format.
Guest Investigator Program The TESS Project supports a Guest Investigator program, which allows researchers to propose both observations of particular targets and the analyses of archived data. Can be blank14 # planets Number of planets in TOI system15 Rstar Stellar radius of host star16 Rplanet Planet candidate radius in Earth radii. These events were found by the TESS SPOC pipeline of record.A reference image of the TOI Release portal is shown below. TESS has a unique, 13.7 day, highly elliptical cislunar orbit about Earth. Note: The parameters for the TOIs released early in the process (TOI ID 101-176) may be inconsistent between MAST, MIT, and ExoFOP-TESS. As promising targets for follow-up observations are discovered, they will be announced as TOI Releases on the TESS TOI Release page. TOI Releases are notifications to the astronomical community so that preliminary planet candidates may be followed up as soon as possible following official data release. “PC” means planet candidate.5 RA Right Ascension (deg) (JD2000 if from SPOC, JD2015 if from MIT QLP)6 Dec Declination (deg) (JD2000 if from SPOC, JD2015 if from MIT QLP)7 Tmag TESS magnitudes computed by relations described by Stassun+ 2017.8 Epoch Barycentric-corrected epoch of first transit in TESS Julian Days (BJD – 2457000).9 Period Planet candidate orbital period, in days.10 Duration Planet candidate transit duration, in hours.11 Transit Depth Planet candidate transit depth, in parts per million.12 Sectors List of sectors contributing data to TOI parameters13 Comment Comments from TOI group vetting. Otherwise, they come from MIT’s QLP.Note that the QLP includes stellar parameters from the latest GAIA release DR2 whereas the SPOC stellar parameters are taken from the TIC.For further information about the TIC, see Stassun et al.
These cTOIs will be from the FFIs, and not from the SPOC data products. For more details see this The TOI Release comes from visual analysis of significant threshold crossing events by the TSO.
TESS will tile the sky with 26 segments, observing the southern hemisphere in the first year of mission operation and the northern hemisphere in the second year. Get the latest updates on NASA missions, watch NASA TV live, and learn about our quest to reveal the unknown and benefit all humankind. There are three main TOI lists created from new data deliveries: the TSO list, the ExoFOP-TESS list, and the MAST list.
NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite is an all-sky survey mission that will discover thousands of exoplanets around nearby bright stars. NOTE: this has changed from the ‘Edited’ field, which marked when ANY TOI parameter was updated.The TESS Science Office (TSO) releases TOIs as a service to the community. See this The table can be sorted using the arrows to the right of each column heading.The table can be filtered using the text boxes at the bottom of each column.2 TIC A unique identifier for every object in the TIC.
TOI team reviews cTOIs and can add in targets the projects missed.TOI Releases are preliminary TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs). “We acknowledge the use of public TOI Release data from pipelines at the TESS Science Office and at the TESS Science Processing Operations Center.” Details on each of these columns can be found near the end of this document. There are three main TOI lists created from new data deliveries: the TSO list, the ExoFOP-TESS list, and the MAST list. MIT’s Quick Look Pipeline (QLP) is one source of cTOIs.
Parameters on ExoFOP-TESS and at MIT are from the latest or highest quality data (lowest period uncertainty) for each target. 2017 or Most questions about the nature of the SPOC data validation reports will be answered in the TESS data product summary: The TOI Releases from the official TESS pipeline (SPOC) are also available along with their data products at MAST. The TESS Science Office (TSO) list is directly created from vetting TOIs at the TSO. Both lists have a sector column to track which sectors a TOI has appeared in.
