A multi-planetary system orbiting the early-M dwarf TOI-1238

E. González-Álvarez, M. R. Zapatero Osorio, J. Sanz-Forcada +53

Two transiting planet candidates with super-Earth radii around the nearby K7--M0 dwarf star TOI-1238 were announced by TESS. We aim to validate their planetary nature using precise…

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…

QLP Data Release Notes 001: K2 + TESS Analysis

Michelle Kunimoto, Chelsea Huang, Evan Tey +3

TESS will target the ecliptic plane in Sectors 42 - 46. These sectors overlap with campaigns from the K2 mission, providing a unique opportunity for multi-mission light curve analy…

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).…

TOI-1296b and TOI-1298b observed with TESS and SOPHIE: Two hot Saturn-mass exoplanets with different densities around metal-rich stars

C. Moutou, J. M. Almenara, G. Hébrard +40

We present the discovery of two new transiting extrasolar planet candidates identified as TOI-1296.01 and TOI-1298.01 by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The plane…

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…

TOI-1749: an M dwarf with a Trio of Planets including a Near-Resonant Pair

A. Fukui, J. Korth, J. H. Livingston +65

We report the discovery of one super-Earth- (TOI-1749b) and two sub-Neptune-sized planets (TOI-1749c and TOI-1749d) transiting an early M dwarf at a distance of 100~pc, which were…

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…
