A Systematic Search for Multiplanet Systems in TESS FFIs

Description

Multiplanet systems are rich environments for comparison studies of exoplanets. Kepler found an abundance of these systems, putting TESS in a good position to discover more. In particular, TESS should find 100s of multiplanet systems (Huang et al. 2018) around brighter stars, making it easier to characterize them with mass measurements or atmospheric spectroscopy. So far, though, systematic multiplanet searches have only been conducted with the SPOC pipeline on the short cadence light curves. In this talk, I present results from the first systematic search for multiplanet systems using TESS Full-Frame Images -- broadening the search for multiplanet systems to 150,000 bright main sequence stars. I use Threshold-Crossing Events from the Quick Look Pipeline (QLP) as starting points for a search of multiplanet systems around main sequence stars with Tmag < 12.5. I show results from Years 1 through 3 and have also integrated the code into QLP for Year 4+. I’ll discuss newly discovered systems in context of existing multiplanet system statistics and suggest interesting systems for follow-up. Together with known systems, these new multiplanet systems will improve our understanding of planetary system formation and evolution.
