Hello and welcome TESS followers to this special news bulletin! Here we will discuss the results of the Cycle 4 proposal season.
The Cycle 4 review was held earlier this year in March, with 146 proposals submitted. Of these proposals 12 were large, 110 small, and 24 mini - our most recent proposal category. These 146 proposals were split into one of four fields: Exoplanet (33), Stellar Astrophysics (62), Accretion and Extragalactic (19), and Ground-based Focused (32). The proposals were then assessed by one of seven panels.
In total 62 proposals were accepted with the following breakdown:
