The TESS Science Conference II (TSC2) is timed at the beginning of the 2nd year of the TESS Extended Mission, and the 4th year overall. The conference will cover all science done with TESS data, 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 developed by the community, follow-up observations of targets identified using TESS data, and how discoveries made with TESS data impact theoretical understanding.
This will be the second in a series of TESS Science Conferences. The first TESS Science Conference website is available here.
