• TESS Input Catalog (TIC): Catalog of stars used by the TESS mission to select targets to download at short cadence. The TIC is available through the MAST portal and via the API.
• Catalog Target List (CTL): Subset of the TIC containing each science groups priorities to obtain short cadence observations.
• Merged Target List (MTL): These targets are observed at the 2-min cadence.
  

Planet Search Products

The flux time series for each star observed in short cadence are then further detrended and searched for repeating signals consistent with a transiting planet, known as a Threshold Crossing Event (TCE).   The following products are produced by the TESS Science Processing Pipeline for each target star that produces a TCE.
