The TESS Faint Star Search: 1,617 TOIs from the TESS Primary Mission
Michelle Kunimoto, Tansu Daylan, Natalia Guerrero +10
We present the detection of 1,617 new transiting planet candidates, identified in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) full-frame images (FFIs) observed during the Prim…
TOI-2257 b: A highly eccentric long-period sub-Neptune transiting a nearby M dwarf
N. Schanche, F. J. Pozuelos, M. N. Günther +61
Thanks to the relative ease of finding and characterizing small planets around M dwarf stars, these objects have become cornerstones in the field of exoplanet studies. The current…
The TESS-Keck Survey. VI. Two Eccentric sub-Neptunes Orbiting HIP-97166
Mason G. MacDougall, Erik A. Petigura, Isabel Angelo +45
We report the discovery of HIP-97166b (TOI-1255b), a transiting sub-Neptune on a 10.3-day orbit around a K0 dwarf 68 pc from Earth. This planet was identified in a systematic searc…
Quick-Look Pipeline Lightcurves for 9.1 Million Stars Observed Over the First Year of the TESS Extended Mission
Michelle Kunimoto, Chelsea Huang, Evan Tey +7
We present a magnitude-limited set of lightcurves for stars observed over the TESS Extended Mission, as extracted from full-frame images (FFIs) by MIT's Quick-Look Pipeline (QLP).…
TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) VI: an 11 Myr giant planet transiting a very low-mass star in Lower Centaurus Crux
Andrew W. Mann, Mackenna L. Wood, Stephen P. Schmidt +48
Mature super-Earths and sub-Neptunes are predicted to be Jovian radius when younger than 10 Myr. Thus, we expect to find 5-15 planets around young stars even if t…
A Uniform Search for Nearby Planetary Companions to Hot Jupiters in TESS Data Reveals Hot Jupiters are Still Lonely
Benjamin J. Hord, Knicole D. Colón, Veselin Kostov +12
We present the results of a uniform search for additional planets around all stars with confirmed hot Jupiters observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) in its C…
The TESS Mission Target Selection Procedure
Michael Fausnaugh, Ed Morgan, Roland Vanderspek +61
We describe the target selection procedure by which stars are selected for 2-minute and 20-second observations by TESS. We first list the technical requirements of the TESS instrum…
A large sub-Neptune transiting the thick-disk M4V TOI-2406
R. D. Wells, B. V. Rackham, N. Schanche +71
Large sub-Neptunes are uncommon around the coolest stars in the Galaxy and are rarer still around those that are metal-poor. However, owing to the large planet-to-star radius ratio…
The TESS-Keck Survey: Science Goals and Target Selection
Ashley Chontos, Joseph M. Akana Murphy, Mason G. MacDougall +28
Space-based transit missions such as Kepler and TESS have demonstrated that planets are ubiquitous. However, the success of these missions heavily depends on ground-based radial ve…
TOI-674b: an oasis in the desert of exo-Neptunes transiting a nearby M dwarf
F. Murgas, N. Astudillo-Defru, X. Bonfils +59
We use TESS, Spitzer, ground-based light curves and HARPS spectrograph radial velocity measurements to establish the physical properties of the transiting exoplanet candidate TOI-6…
TESS and HARPS reveal two sub-Neptunes around TOI 1062
J. F. Otegi, F. Bouchy, R. Helled +46
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (\textit{TESS}) mission was designed to perform an all-sky search of planets around bright and nearby stars. Here we report the discovery…
The TESS Objects of Interest Catalog from the TESS Prime Mission
Natalia M. Guerrero, S. Seager, Chelsea X. Huang +102
We present 2,241 exoplanet candidates identified with data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) during its two-year prime mission. We list these candidates in the…
TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) IV: Three small planets orbiting a 120 Myr-old star in the Pisces--Eridanus stream
Elisabeth R. Newton, Andrew W. Mann, Adam L. Kraus +50
Young exoplanets can offer insight into the evolution of planetary atmospheres, compositions, and architectures. We present the discovery of the young planetary system TOI 451 (TIC…
TESS Delivers Five New Hot Giant Planets Orbiting Bright Stars from the Full Frame Images
Joseph E. Rodriguez, Samuel N. Quinn, George Zhou +115
We present the discovery and characterization of five hot and warm Jupiters -- TOI-628 b (TIC 281408474; HD 288842), TOI-640 b (TIC 147977348), TOI-1333 b (TIC 395171208, BD+47 352…
TOI-1259Ab -- a gas giant planet with 2.7% deep transits and a bound white dwarf companion
David V. Martin, Kareem El-Badry, Vedad Kunovac Hodžić +33
We present TOI-1259Ab, a 1.0 Rjup gas giant planet transiting a 0.71 Rsun K-dwarf on a 3.48 day orbit. The system also contains a bound white dwarf companion TOI-1259B with a proje…
