cds-question@unistra.frsurveysmultiple-starsRadial velocity (RV) surveys have detected hundreds of exoplanets through their gravitational interactions with their host stars. Some will be transiting, but most lack sufficient follow-up observations to confidently detect (or rule out) transits. We use published stellar, orbital, and planetary parameters to estimate the transit probabilities for nearly all exoplanets that have been discovered via the RV method. From these probabilities, we predict that 25.5_-0.7_^+0.7^ of the known RV exoplanets should transit their host stars. This prediction is more than double the amount of RV exoplanets that are currently known to transit. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) presents a valuable opportunity to explore the transiting nature of many of the known RV exoplanet systems. Based on the anticipated pointing of TESS during its two-year primary mission, we identify the known RV exoplanets that it will observe and predict that 11.7_-0.3_^+0.3^ of them will have transits detected by TESS. However, we only expect the discovery of transits for ~3 of these exoplanets to be novel (i.e., not previously known). We predict that the TESS photometry will yield dispositive null results for the transits of ~125 RV exoplanets. This will represent a substantial increase in the effort to refine ephemerides of known RV exoplanets. We demonstrate that these results are robust to changes in the ecliptic longitudes of future TESS observing sectors. Finally, we consider how several potential TESS extended mission scenarios affect the number of transiting RV exoplanets we expect TESS to observe.2019PASP..131c4401Dhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/PASP/131/C4401CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/ApJ/809/77 : Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) (Sullivan+, 2015)J/AJ/155/39 : Variability properties of TIC sources with KELT (Oelkers+, 2018)J/AJ/156/82 : TESS planets radial velocity characterization (Cloutier+, 2018)J/AJ/156/102 : TESS Input Catalog and Candidate Target List (Stassun+, 2018)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/PASP/131/C4401https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/PASP/131/C4401http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/PASP/131/C4401https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/PASP/131/C4401https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/PASP/131/C4401http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/PASP/131/C4401GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/PASP/131/C4401/table1 (Transit probabilities and predicted TESS observation details for the known RV exoplanets in our sample)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/PASP/131/C4401/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/PASP/131/C4401/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/PASP/131/C4401/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true132.486742811.69249670.0055555555555555566/311 320 336 341 431 679 685 717 725 737 748 918 1050 1544 1597 2043 2110 2152 2254 2312 2416 2472 2497 2577 2579 2780 2971 3015 3115 3118 3121 3350 3536 3663 3876 3906 3932 3968 3979 4082 4104 4136 4255 4285 4298 4321 4428-4429 4441 4444 4528 4574 4651 4698-4699 4881 5009 5067 5309 5488 5522 5553 5556 5572 5667 5718 5815 6006 6219 6237 6298 6638 6760 6791 6821 6831 7136 7162 7208 7240 7272 7402 7746 7760 8357 8477-8478 8671 8785 8843 9061 9350 9403 9459 9483 9662 9753 9843 9893 9934 10079 10146 10149 10278 10380 10407 10701 11035 11087 11267 11326 11352 11394 11473 11589 11636 11671 11699 11732 11910 12024 12030 12056 12082-12083 12146 12148 12186 12306 12465 12482 12502 12612 12644 12646 12655 12899 12983 13143 13423 13464 13643 13752 13808 14191 14275-14276 14278 14284 14317 14329 14412 14419 14434 14466 14516 14525 14548 14573 14585 14682 14744 14762 14825 14828 14839 14896 14918 14924 14939 15060 15126 15131 15143 15149 15174 15273 15310 15345 15683 15848 16035 16213 16432 16627 16652 16667 16707 16758 16783 16823 16995 17266 17341 17425 17496 17587 17641 17730-17731 17764 17888 17954 18028 18147 18172 18192 18441 18496 18569 18614 18641 18666 18688 18747 18821 18835 18953 19619 19669 19815 19904 19912 20072 20145 20338 20557 20582 20746 20886 20973 21003 21221 21223 21326 21406 21473 21531 21838 21906 21941 21956 22015 22036 22078 22169 22252 22309 22518 22590 22645 22654 22708 22837 22878 23030 23201 23322 23363 23414 23540 23583 23646 23681 24019 24227 24312 24530 24713 24831 24924 25114 25135 25140 25401 25424 25446 25466 25593 25875 25939 25989 26120 26142 26183 26242 26575 26706-26707 26790 26901 26938 26972 26978 26997 27018 27060 27088 27164 27220 27616 27680 27682 27750 27787 27881 27975 28044 28085 28103 28130 28274 28400 28548 28571 28763 28767 28779 28865 29246 29291 29513 29520 29541 29589 29838 30015 30116 30170 30278 30378 30419 30526 30541 30707 30770-30771 31428 31494 31606 31714 31813 31860 31874 32259 32491 32501 32509 32561 32575 32848 32930 33042 33182 33243 33258 33377 33430 33456 33510 33630 33717 33813 33923 33966 33974 34069 34181 34301 34390 34446 34674 34767 34773 34902 34905 34951 35079 35339 35362 35415 35442 35532 35839 35907 35954 35968 36078 36092 36506 36555 36697 37018 37047 37119 37461 37573 37954-37955 38162 38238 38414 38461 38545 38728 38744 38807 38998 39257 39280 39364 39446 39646 39675 39926 40066 40101 40143 40220 40312 40400 40442 40513 40661 40692 40985 41058 41167 41211 41432 41446 41515 41591 41607 41627 41710 41724 42044 42101 42205 42221 42248 42274 42281 42290 42318 42333 42386 42459 42510 42570 42661 42760 42808 42934 43012 43022 43203 43228 43336 43374 43442 43639 43677 43775 43813 43818 43840 43911 44223 44228 44243 44379 44398 44518 44740 44921 45168 45258 45364 45378 45489 45624 45682 45717 45721 45865 46100 46111-46112 46215 46297 46306 46632 46775 46800 46843 46967 47550 47590 47740 47780 47930 48105 48108-48109 48178 48402 48519 48530 48545 48652https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/PASP/131/C4401?format=asciidefaultJ/PASP/131/C4401/table1Transit probabilities and predicted TESS observation details for the known RV exoplanets in our samplerecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
