2024 TESS Science Conference

The TESS Science Conference III (TSC3; tsc.mit.edu) will cover all science done with the MKI-led NASA TESS Mission, from Solar System (asteroids, trans-neptunian objects, comets), through exoplanets and stellar astrophysics (asteroseismology, variable stars, stellar binaries), to extragalactic astronomy (supernovae, AGN, TDEs).  The conference will focus on all aspects of the mission: TESS data analysis techniques, follow-up observations of targets identified using TESS data, and how discoveries made with TESS data impact theoretical understanding.
