abstract

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is the first high-precision full-sky photometry survey in space. We present light curves from a magnitude limited set of stars and other stationary luminous objects from the TESS Full Frame Images, as reduced by the MIT Quick Look Pipeline (QLP). Our light curves cover the full two-year TESS Primary Mission and include $\sim$ 14,770,000 and $\sim$ 9,600,000 individual light curve segments in the Southern and Northern ecliptic hemispheres, respectively. We describe the photometry and detrending techniques we used to create the light curves, and compare the noise properties with theoretical expectations. All of the QLP light curves are available at MAST as a High Level Science Product via doi.org/10.17909/t9-r086-e880 (https://archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/qlp). This is the largest collection of TESS photometry available to the public to date.

  1. Detecting Solar-Like Oscillations in the Highest Mass TESS Giants

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Custom-aperture TESS photometry detects solar-like oscillations in 43 intermediate-mass giants (10 above 5 M⊙) and shows APOGEE DR19 log g is ~0.23 dex too high versus seismic values.

  2. PANTERA. I. Hunting for the Most Metal-Rich Stars in the Solar Neighborhood with High-Resolution Spectroscopy

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gaia XP photometric metallicities overpredict iron abundance by ~0.16 dex for cool metal-rich giants, yet the sample still contains 25 ultra-metal-rich stars up to [Fe/H]=+0.58.

  3. Companion Architectures of Sub-Saturns: Distinct Migration Pathways Across the Neptunian Landscape

    astro-ph.EP 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Desert/ridge sub-Saturns show ~10% nearby-companion rates like hot Jupiters; savanna ones show ~70% like warm Jupiters, supporting HEM versus quiescent migration.

  4. The TASSIE Program. II: Three Close-In Companions Orbiting Sun-Like Stars

    astro-ph.EP 2026-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    TOI-3053b is a typical hot Jupiter (0.85 Jupiter masses) and TOI-3278b/HATS-78b is an unusually inflated Saturn-mass planet (0.30 Jupiter masses, density 0.21 g/cm3), confirmed with ground-based photometry and radial ...
