Observation Sector 50

TESS Observation Sector 50 is comprised of observations made during orbits 107 and 108 of the TESS mission. Observations extend from March 26 through April 22, 2022. The regions of the sky observed are shown at right.

Pointing

The orientation of the spacecraft and camera boresights are given in the table below.

Boresight	RA	Dec	Roll	Ecliptic Longitude	Ecliptic Latitude
Spacecraft	221.858	41.758	-30.266	199.0	54.0
Camera 1	204.393	9.212	67.611	199.0	18.0
Camera 2	214.823	31.163	63.936	199.0	42.0
Camera 3	231.604	51.756	-127.401	199.0	66.0

All coordinates are degrees (J2000)

Map of TESS camera fields-of-view 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 50

During Sector 50, 20,000 stars are observed at two-minute cadence, 1000 at 20-second cadence, and full-frame images are collected every 10 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.
