Initial Exoplanet Discoveries from TESS

Speaker: Scott Fleming of the Space Telescope Science Institute

In April 2018, NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) launched and by the summer it was sending back data. What has this planet-hunter found? Dr. Scott Fleming will share several of the first exciting discoveries, plus detail about how the observatory is designed and how it compares to NASA’s Kepler/K2 mission. All of the data from TESS is available in the Barbara A. Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST), which is based at the Space Telescope Science Institute.

Host: Dr. Frank Summers

Recorded live on Tuesday, January 15, 2019, at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A.
