THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE CTL IS 8. SWITCH TO CURRENT PORTAL WITH THE DROP-DOWN BUTTON ABOVE.
This portal was updated to reflect the CTL of TIC v7 on September 11, 2018.
This Candidate Target List (CTL v7.02) is a compilation of several catalogs, including 2MASS, Gaia DR1, UCAC-4 & 5, Tycho-2, APASS DR9 and others. The CTL is the current best effort to identify stars most suitable for transit detection with TESS. Stars are considered for the CTL if they are: 1) identified as RPMJ dwarfs with greater than 2-sigma confidence; and 2) meet one of the following temperature/magnitude criteria: (TESSmag < 12 and Teff >= 5500K) or (TESSmag < 13 and Teff < 5500K). Alternatively, a star is included in the CTL, regardless of the conditions above, if the star is a member of the bright star list (TESSmag < 6) or the specially curated cool dwarf, hot subdwarf, and known planet lists. Users who are interested only in the top 200K or 400K stars may use a filter on the priority of 0.0017 and 0.0011 respectively.
The full TIC & CTL will be available for download at MAST. The full machine-readable version of this CTL filtergraph portal is available as a comma-separated file at this link.
CTL v7.02 was prepared for delivery by the TESS Target Selection Working Group to the TESS Science Office June 17, 2018. The full documentation for TIC v7 can be found here. The data release notes for this version of the TIC/CTL can be found here. Portal users are urged to routinely check the release notes for updates. Use of this database is governed by the TESS Catalog Fair Use Policy.
