TESS Science Processing Operations Center Photometric Precision Archival Product
Abstract We report the delivery to the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST) of tables containing rms Combined Differential Photometric Precision (CDPP) values for all TESS 2 minutes cadence targets with Science Processing Operations Center (SPOC) light curves in Sectors 1–90. Each comma-separated values file contains CDPP values for all 2 minutes light curves in the given sector. The tables include robust rms CDPP values for the 15 trial transit pulse durations searched in the SPOC 2 minutes processing pipeline, ranging from 0.5 to 15.0 hr. For each pulse duration, CDPP is computed in the transit search for a trial transit centered on every cadence. The rms value of the CDPP time series is a metric that may be employed to estimate signal-to-noise ratio for transits with the given duration and a specified depth. We will continue to deliver the rms CDPP tables to MAST for each observing sector.
