Welcome to the third update about Sector 1751, TESS’s special observation of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS!
20-s data are available: TESS 20-s and 120-s target pixel files (TPFs) surrounding the path of 3I/ATLAS can be downloaded in bulk here. The corresponding high-level science product, a comet-centered data cube and light curve based on the 20-s TPFs, is available for download here.
Community Helpdesk: The TESS Science Support Center will be hosting a Community Helpdesk Wednesday April 22 at 1:00-1:45 pm EDT (UTC-4). This will be a chance to interact with the TESS mission regarding the TESS 3I/ATLAS special observations, ask questions about the TESS 3I/ATLAS comet-centered HLSP, and chat with other community members working on the observations. Information on how to join the meeting will be shared in a separate calendar invitation and on Slack.
