- Description:
- We present for the first time optical (V, I and Gunn z) colour magnitude diagrams for Terzan 6, which were collected under excellent seeing conditions with the ESO NTT telescope. The horizontal branch morphology is red, nearly superimposed on the red giant branch. The red giant branch morphology presents characteristics intermediate between those of 47 Tuc and NGC 6528/NGC 6553. We derive a reddening of E(B-V)=2.24 and a distance d_{sun}_=7.0kpc (assuming R=3.1). We conclude that Terzan 6 belongs to the metal-rich bulge globular cluster system.

- Description:
- We present for the first time optical colour magnitude diagrams of the globular cluster Terzan 2, in the V, I colours. The horizontal branch is red. The red giant branch morphology can be fitted with that of 47 Tuc, but definitely not th at of NGC 6553. We derive a reddening of E(B-V)=1.54 and a distance d_{sun}_=7.7kpc if R=3.1, or 5.3kpc if R=3.6. Terzan 2 adds to the list of bulge metal-rich clusters now with reliable parameters.

- Description:
- The most important advantage of widefield cameras is, precisely, the "widefield", since this offers the observers the possibility of obtaining vast amounts of data in a much shorter observing time. However, for a reliable data interpretation, it is necessary a proper data calibration. Concerning the flatfielding of images, many times it is required to obtain several integrations in blank regions (sky patches without bright sources) nearby to the science target areas. TESELA is a service developed to provide access to a catalogue of blank regions, based on the application of the Delaunay triangulation of the sky. The present implementation of TESELA uses as source for the star coordinates the Tycho-2 Catalogue (Hog et al. 2000). The system has been jointly developed by the Department of Astrophysics of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and CAB (INTA-CSIC) and is maintained at CAB (INTA-CSIC).

- Description:
- We report the discovery of NGTS-11 b (=TOI-1847b), a transiting Saturn in a 35.46 day orbit around a mid K-type star (T_eff_=5050+/-80K). We initially identified the system from a single-transit event in a TESS full-frame image light curve. Following 79 nights of photometric monitoring with an NGTS telescope, we observed a second full transit of NGTS-11 b approximately one year after the TESS single-transit event. The NGTS transit confirmed the parameters of the transit signal and restricted the orbital period to a set of 13 discrete periods. We combined our transit detections with precise radial-velocity measurements to determine the true orbital period and measure the mass of the planet. We find NGTS-11 b has a radius of 0.817_-0.032_^+0.028^R_Jup_, a mass of 0.344_-0.073_^+0.092^M_Jup_, and an equilibrium temperature of just 435_-32_^+34^K, making it one of the coolest known transiting gas giants. NGTS-11 b is the first exoplanet to be discovered after being initially identified as a TESS single-transit event, and its discovery highlights the power of intense photometric monitoring in recovering longer-period transiting exoplanets from single-transit events.

- TESS eclipsing binaries apsidal motion
- Short Name:

- Description:
- The measurement of apsidal motion rates in eccentric eclipsing binaries is a unique way to gain insight into the internal structure of stars through the internal density concentration parameter,k2. High-quality physical parameters of the stellar components,together with precise measurements of the advance of the periastron, are needed for the comparison with values derived from models. As a product of the TESS mission, high-precision light curves of a large number of eclipsing binaries are now available. Using a selection of well-studied, double-lined eccentric eclipsing binary systems, we aim to determine their apsidal motion rates and place constraints on the internal density concentration and compare with the predictions from state-of-the-art theoretical models. We compute times of minimum light using the TESS light curves of 34 eclipsing binaries with precise absolute parameters. We use the changing difference over time between primary and secondary eclipse timings to determine the apsidal motion rate. To extend the time baseline, we combine the high-precision TESS timings with reliable archival data. On the other hand, for each component of our sample of double-lined eclipsing binaries we computed grids of evolutionary stellar models for the observed stellar mass exploring ranges of values of the overshooting parameter, fov, the mixing-length parameter and the metallicity. To find the best solution for the two components we adopt a chi-squared statistic to infer the optimal values of the overshooting parameter and the mixing-length parameter. The theoretical internal structure constants to be compared with the observed values were calculated by integrating the differential equations of Radau for each stellar model. We have determined the apsidal motion rate of 27 double-lined eclipsing binaries with precise physical parameters. The obtained values, corrected for their relativistic contribution, yield precise empirical parameters of the internal stellar density concentration. The comparison of these results with the predictions based on new theoretical models shows very good agreement. Small deviations are identified but remain within the observational uncertainties and the path for a refined comparison is indicated.

- Description:
- The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will provide high-precision time series photometry for millions of stars with at least a half-hour cadence. Of particular interest are the circular regions of 12{deg} radius centred around the ecliptic poles that will be observed continuously for a full year. Spectroscopic stellar parameters are desirable to characterize and select suitable targets for TESS, whether they are focused on exploring exoplanets, stellar astrophysics or Galactic archaeology. Here, we present spectroscopic stellar parameters (Teff, logg, [Fe/H], vsini, vmicro) for about 16000 dwarf and subgiant stars in TESS' southern continuous viewing zone. For almost all the stars, we also present Bayesian estimates of stellar properties including distance, extinction, mass, radius and age using theoretical isochrones. Stellar surface gravity and radius are made available for an additional set of roughly 8500 red giants. All our target stars are in the range 10<V<13.1. Among them, we identify and list 227 stars belonging to the Large Magellanic Cloud. The data were taken using the High Efficiency and Resolution Multi-Element Spectrograph (HERMES; R~28000) at the Anglo-Australian Telescope as part of the TESS-HERMES survey. Comparing our results with the TESS Input Catalogue (TIC) shows that the TIC is generally efficient in separating dwarfs and giants, but it has flagged more than 100 cool dwarfs (Teff<4800K) as giants, which ought to be high-priority targets for the exoplanet search. The catalogue can be accessed via http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/tess-hermes/, or at Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST).

- Description:
- 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. MAST catalog holdings are available via Cone Search endpoints. All available missions are listed at http://archive.stsci.edu/vo/mast_services.html. This service provides access to the TESS input catalog (TIC), currently version 8.2.

- Description:
- We define various types of "phantom" stars that may appear in the TESS Input Catalog (TIC), and provide examples and lists of currently known cases. We present a methodology that can be used to check for phantoms around any object of interest in the TIC, and we present an approach for correcting the TIC-reported flux contamination factors accordingly. We checked all 2077 TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs) known as of July 21st 2020 (Sectors 1 to 24) and sent corrections for 291 stars to MAST where they are integrated into the publicly available TIC-8, updating it to TIC 8.1. We used the experience gained to construct an all-sky algorithm searching for "phantoms" which led to 34 million updates integrated into TIC 8.2.

- Description:
- The TIC is used to help identify two-minute cadence target selection for the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission, and to calculate physical and observational properties of planet candidates. It is for use by both the TESS science team and the public, and it is periodically updated - the current version is TIC-8. TIC-8 uses the GAIA DR2 catalog as a base and merges a large number of other photometric catalogs, including 2MASS, UCAC4, APASS, SDSS, WISE, etc. There are roughly 1.5 billion stellar and extended sources in TIC-8, containing compiled magnitudes including B, V, u, g, r, i, z, J, H, K, W1-W4, and G. This version was released in May 2019, and is expected to be the last official version of the TIC produced by the TESS mission, although future, independent development of the TIC is possible. The TIC is the responsibility of the SAO Arm of the TESS Science Office under the leadership of David Latham. The TESS Target Selection Working Group (TSWG) is co-chaired by Keivan Stassun (Vanderbilt) & Joshua Pepper (Lehigh).
