TESS two-year target observation map

TESS two-year target observation map
TESS two-year target observation map Each point in this map represents a target observed at two-minute cadence. The color of the dot represents the number of times it was observed. The U-shaped red curve shows the galactic plane, with the position of the galactic center shown by the red star. Over the course of its two-year primary mission, TESS observed 26 sectors for approximately 27 days each, covering ∼ 70% of the sky. Each sector is a 24◦ × 96◦ field of view. MIT
