TESS Users Committee Community Survey January, 19 2024

22 December 2023

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) Users Committee requests the community’s input via a short survey TESS Users Committee Community Survey (responses due January 19, 2024). TESS is a NASA mission that monitors large swathes of the sky at visible wavelengths with high precision and fast cadence (more information on TESS). TESS science spans all of astrophysics and some solar system science. As such, researchers from a wide variety of backgrounds are encouraged to submit their opinions on how TESS can best serve the interests of the scientific community.

This survey has been designed by the TESS Users Committee (TUC), which is charged with ensuring that the interests of the TESS science community are served by the TESS Project in planning for and executing TESS operations. The TUC is aiming to use this survey as one means for gathering and reviewing the opinions of the wider community on a range of issues. The specific topics are geared toward items of interest to the TESS community over the next few years.

The deadline to complete the survey is January 19, 2024.

An illustration of Sun-like star HD 181327 and its surrounding debris disk. The star is at top right. It is surrounded by a far larger debris disk that forms an incomplete ellpitical path and is cut off at right. There’s a huge cavity between the star and the disk. The debris disk is shown in shades of light gray. Toward the top and left, there are finer, more discrete points in a range of sizes. The disk appears hazier and smokier at the bottom. The star is bright white at center, with a hazy blue region around it. The background of space is black. The label Artist's Concept appears at lower left.
