TASC Target Lists - Version 8.03

Latest update: Version 8.03, 14th April 2020.

Below you can find the prioritized TASC target lists, which is the list of stars which TASC will suggest for observation by TESS. The list has been merged from proposals from the different TASC working groups. The details of how the final target selection was done and the resulting combined TASC target lists can be found below:

Below you will find the proposals and target lists for each TASC working group. We have also included the target list from the TESS main mission (called the CTL). For the list of targets actually observed by TESS in the different sectors, please see the observed targets list.
