Comparing Optimized Systematic Error Correction Methods on Selected TESS Light Curves
David Rapetti, Jon Jenkins, Joseph Twicken +2
The correction of systematic errors in TESS light curves is crucial for all astrophysical analyses employing these observations. Here we present a data analysis and a software pack…
TESS Science Processing Operations Center Photometric Precision Archival Product
Joseph D. Twicken, Jon M. Jenkins, Douglas A. Caldwell +11
We report the delivery to the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST) of tables containing Root Mean Square (RMS) Combined Differential Photometric Precision (CDPP) values for…
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…
Kepler Data Validation II -- Transit Model Fitting and Multiple-Planet Search
Jie Li, Peter Tenenbaum, Joseph D. Twicken +5
This paper discusses the transit model fitting and multiple-planet search algorithms and performance of the Kepler Science Data Processing Pipeline, developed by the Kepler Science…
Automatic Classification of Kepler Planetary Transit Candidates
Sean D. McCauliff, Jon M. Jenkins, Joseph Catanzarite +7
In the first three years of operation the Kepler mission found 3,697 planet candidates from a set of 18,406 transit-like features detected on over 200,000 distinct stars. Vetting c…
The K2 Mission: Characterization and Early results
Steve B. Howell, Charlie Sobeck, Michael Haas +16
The K2 mission will make use of the Kepler spacecraft and its assets to expand upon Kepler's groundbreaking discoveries in the fields of exoplanets and astrophysics through new and…
Identification of Background False Positives from Kepler Data
Stephen T. Bryson, Jon M. Jenkins, Ronald L. Gilliland +8
The Kepler Mission was launched on March 6, 2009 to perform a photometric survey of more than 100,000 dwarf stars to search for Earth-size planets with the transit technique. The r…
Kepler Presearch Data Conditioning II - A Bayesian Approach to Systematic Error Correction
Jeffrey C. Smith, Martin C. Stumpe, Jeffrey E. Van Cleve +8
With the unprecedented photometric precision of the Kepler Spacecraft, significant systematic and stochastic errors on transit signal levels are observable in the Kepler photometri…
Kepler Presearch Data Conditioning I - Architecture and Algorithms for Error Correction in Kepler Light Curves
Martin C. Stumpe, Jeffrey C. Smith, Jeffrey E. Van Cleve +8
Kepler provides light curves of 156,000 stars with unprecedented precision. However, the raw data as they come from the spacecraft contain significant systematic and stochastic err…
