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…
Past, Present and Future Stars that can see Earth as a Transiting Exoplanet
L. Kaltenegger, J. K. Faherty
In the search for life in the cosmos, transiting exoplanets are currently our best targets. In the search for life in the cosmos, transiting exoplanets are currently our best targe…
Differentiating Modern and Prebiotic Earth Scenarios for TRAPPIST-1e: High-resolution Transmission Spectra and Predictions for JWST
Zifan Lin, Ryan J. MacDonald, Lisa Kaltenegger +1
The TRAPPIST-1 system is a priority target for terrestrial exoplanet characterization. TRAPPIST-1e, residing in the habitable zone, will be observed during the JWST GTO Program. He…
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…
Finding Signs of Life in Transit: High-resolution Transmission Spectra of Earth-like Planets around FGKM Host Stars
Lisa Kaltenegger, Zifan Lin
Thousands of transiting exoplanets have already been detected orbiting a wide range of host stars, including the first planets that could potentially be similar to Earth. The upcom…
The Mega-MUSCLES Spectral Energy Distribution Of TRAPPIST-1
David J. Wilson, Cynthia S. Froning, Girish M. Duvvuri +19
We present a 5A-100um Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of the ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, obtained as part of the Mega-MUSCLES Treasury Survey. The SED combines ultraviolet…
