# TESS Program G06030 Title: A Census Of Complex Periodic Variables PI: Bouma, Luke - California Institute Of Technology Type: SMALL Summary: Complex periodic variables (CPVs) are a type of variable star whose root cause is not understood. Possible explanations include transiting dust clumps; stellar prominences; or misaligned, low-mass debris disks. We propose to use the Cycle 6 FFIs to make light curves for all T<16 K- and M-dwarfs within 100pc. By searching these stars for new CPVs, we expect to double the sample of known CPVs within 100pc. We will also release the light curves to MAST. Independently, we propose that new 2-minute observations be acquired for CPVs that we have found in the Cycle 1-5 2-minute data, to determine how CPV variability changes over thousands of cycles. These efforts will advance our understanding of M-dwarf evolution, including perhaps the evolution of debris disks and young rocky planets. # Sector 070 targets observed (2 min: 10, 20 s: 1) 245763891,9.893,14.9099,11.6,G06030 245763892,9.892,14.9055,11.62,G06030 244161191,4.8838,-5.9117,13.17,G06030;G06120;G06032;20SECONDTARGET 440725886,58.2423,21.4239,14.69,G06030;G06120 118449916,68.6528,18.607,12.54,G06030 245834739,68.2267,14.4067,12.55,G06030 245874053,68.9821,17.1276,13.26,G06030 353730181,67.8769,20.5938,12.65,G06030;G06120 435903839,64.6142,14.97,11.95,G06030 267953787,66.7665,24.112,13.49,G06030 # Sector 071 targets observed (2 min: 10, 20 s: 0) 118449916,68.6528,18.607,12.54,G06030 245834739,68.2267,14.4067,12.55,G06030 245874053,68.9821,17.1276,13.26,G06030 353730181,67.8769,20.5938,12.65,G06030;G06120 68812630,74.5945,19.6138,13.6,G06030 267953787,66.7665,24.112,13.49,G06030 440725886,58.2423,21.4239,14.69,G06030;G06120 435903839,64.6142,14.97,11.95,G06030 2234692,79.6297,33.1462,12.8,G06030 264599508,109.4981,11.301,12.88,G06030 # Sector 072 targets observed (2 min: 1, 20 s: 0) 264599508,109.4981,11.301,12.88,G06030 # Sector 073 targets observed (2 min: 4, 20 s: 0) 2234692,79.6297,33.1462,12.8,G06030 402980664,16.7361,80.4594,11.11,G06030;G06120 288344202,263.7149,78.7391,10.82,G06030;G06120 359313701,268.0117,56.6081,10.84,G06030 # Sector 074 targets observed (2 min: 3, 20 s: 0) 288344202,263.7149,78.7391,10.82,G06030;G06120 359313701,268.0117,56.6081,10.84,G06030 58084670,296.4221,32.5034,13.58,G06030 # Sector 075 targets observed (2 min: 4, 20 s: 0) 141146667,166.3119,59.2518,13.28,G06030 288344202,263.7148,78.7391,10.82,G06030;G06120 359313701,268.0117,56.6081,10.84,G06030 58084670,296.4221,32.5034,13.58,G06030 # Sector 076 targets observed (2 min: 2, 20 s: 0) 288344202,263.7148,78.7391,10.82,G06030;G06120 359313701,268.0117,56.6081,10.84,G06030 # Sector 077 targets observed (2 min: 3, 20 s: 0) 368129164,202.9424,29.2758,9.29,G06030 288344202,263.7148,78.7391,10.82,G06030;G06120 359313701,268.0117,56.6081,10.84,G06030 # Sector 078 targets observed (2 min: 3, 20 s: 0) 359313701,268.0117,56.6081,10.84,G06030 288344202,263.7148,78.7391,10.82,G06030;G06120 402980664,16.7362,80.4594,11.11,G06030;G06120 # Sector 079 targets observed (2 min: 3, 20 s: 0) 359313701,268.0117,56.6081,10.84,G06030 288344202,263.7148,78.7391,10.82,G06030;G06120 402980664,16.7363,80.4594,11.11,G06030;G06120
