Sector Notes
| Noted Issue | Description |
| Rolled Sector: | Sector 100 is the second of nine overlapping “rolled” sectors that provide extended temporal coverage of the southern ecliptic’s mid-latitudes. This observing plan is designed to detect longer period planets than typical TESS pointings at latitudes that are more amenable to follow up observations. |
| Spacecraft pointing: | The pointing in Sector 100 was set at -46.0 degrees in ecliptic latitude. The instrument fieldof-view was rotated by ∼ 40◦ covering a region of southern ecliptic mid-latitudes. Camera 1 was used for guiding in all four half-orbit segments: 211a, 211b, 212a, 212b. Camera 4 was also used for guiding 212b. A new attitude control algorithm was tested during the last 27 hours of Sector 100. Reaction wheel speeds were calibrated during the first ∼1 hour, which resulted in elevated pointing scatter. Associated cadences have been given the coarse point or manual exclude quality flags. |
| Scattered light: | In Sector 100, the Earth introduces scattered light signals in Camera 4 near the beginning of orbits 211a and 212a and end of orbit 211b and 212b. The Moon introduces a signal in Cameras 1 at the start of orbit 211a and end of orbit 212b. |
