× Warning for Sector 21: The FFI timestamps have been adjusted by ~0.5 seconds due to staggered readouts.

Sector 21 Information

For full data release notes see: DRN29. For a list of TIC IDs with noted issues, see this list.

Update: In Sector 21, the the FFI timestamps have been adjusted for the 0.5 second staggered readouts of the four cameras and the 0.02 second staggered readouts for individual CCDs within a camera. TSTART and TSTOP in the FFIs of previous sectors need to be adjusted for the readout offsets of each camera—see DRN 25 for additional details.
