Abstract


The TESS Input Catalog is a comprehensive collection of 1.73 billion sources on the sky, providing stellar parameters for evaluation of potential planetary transit signals. It combines sources from many other catalogs, including 2MASS, LAMOST, SuperBlink, HSOY, RAVE, APOGEE, UCAC, KIC, EPIC, Tycho-2, APASS, AllWISE, SDSS, Gaia DR2, and Hipparcos. It was constructed for the TESS mission to serve as a source for selecting targets to observe with the TESS two-minute cadence, and to provide stellar parameter information for evaluating the properties of transit candidates.

The MAST Archive at STScI TAP end point for the TESS Input Catalog (TIC), currently version 8.2.
The Table Access Protocol (TAP) lets you execute queries against our database tables, and inspect various metadata.  Upload is not currently supported.
