Observation Sector 10

TESS Observation Sector 10 is comprised of observations made during orbits 27 and 28 of the TESS mission.  Observations of Sector 10 extend from the 26th of March to the 21st of April. The regions of the sky observed during Sector 10 are shown at right. The targets observed during Sector 10 are below.

Pointing

During Sector 10, the instrument axis is pointed to 199° ecliptic longitude and -54° ecliptic latitude.
The orientation of the camera array in celestial coordinates is:
RA (J2000): 165.04746°
Dec (J2000): -54.816522°
Roll (deg): 139.172410°
The coordinates of the centers of the fields-of-view of the four cameras are given in the table below.

Map of TESS camera fields-of-view for Sector 10 in ecliptic coordinates.  Camera 1 is red, camera 2 is magenta, camera 3 is blue, camera 4 is green.  The field of camera 4 looks distorted because it is centered on the ecliptic pole. The thin black line is the ecliptic; the thick black line is the galactic plane.

Targets for Sector 10

During Sector 10, 20,000 stars are observed at two-minute cadence, and full-frame images are collected every 30 minutes.
The list of targets observed at two-minute cadence are given on the Target List page. The target list includes the camera and CCD on which the target can be found, TIC ID, RA, declination, and TESS magnitude.
