Abstract:
We present the target list of solar-type stars to be observed in
short-cadence (2 minute) for asteroseismology by the NASA Transiting
Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) during its 2 year nominal survey
mission. The solar-like Asteroseismic Target List (ATL) is comprised
of bright, cool main-sequence and subgiant stars and forms part of the
larger target list of the TESS Asteroseismic Science Consortium. The
ATL uses the Gaia Data Release 2 and the Extended Hipparcos
Compilation (XHIP) to derive fundamental stellar properties, to
calculate detection probabilities, and to produce a rank- ordered
target list. We provide a detailed description of how the ATL was
produced and calculate expected yields for solar-like oscillators
based on the nominal photometric performance by TESS. We also provide
a publicly available source code that can be used to reproduce the
ATL, thereby enabling comparisons of asteroseismic results from TESS
with predictions from synthetic stellar populations.
Description:
NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) was launched on
2018 April 18 and will dedicate around 20000 short-cadence targets to
asteroseismology, and it is the responsibility of TESS Asteroseismic
Science Consortium (TASC) to provide the target list. In this paper we
describe the construction of the prioritized Asteroseismic Target List
(ATL) of solar-like oscillators, which forms part of the overall TASC
list.
The ATL is mainly based on targets in Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2, I/345),
supplemented at bright magnitudes by the eXtended Hipparcos
Compilation (XHIP; Anderson & Francis 2012, V/137).
The ATL includes ∼25000 bright main-sequence and subgiant stars that
have at least a 5% probability of detecting solar-like oscillations
with TESS.
