Status & updates

May 15 2019: The committee has issued a Call for White Papers - details are given here.

The committee will issue an on-line survey in June.

The aim of the Online Survey is to provide an additional channel of input for the community to the HST-TESS Advisory Committee. The White Papers are better suited for longer responses and the online survey aims to provide a low entry barrier channel. Responses from the online survey and the White Papers will be combined; therefore, the community is encouraged to submit ideas either through the White Paper process or through the online survey. The community is encouraged not to submit the same ideas through both channels.

Deadline for submissions: The window for responses to the Call for White Papers and for the responses through the Online Survey closes on July 3, 2019

In addition, HST-TESS Advisory Committee members will be available for in-person meetings at most major exoplanet conferences in Summer and Fall 2019.

Five white papers were received, summarised here

November 7 2019: The final report was submitted to the STScI Director and is linked here
