TESS Science Conference III | July 29th – August 2nd, 2024

The TESS Science conference III (TSC3) will take place from 29 July to 2 August 2024, at the Kresge Auditorium on MIT campus (Cambridge, MA). TSC3 will focus on all aspects of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission, including the wide range of science done with TESS data and the increasing number of data analysis techniques developed by the TESS community.

The TESS Science Conference III (TSC3) 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, follow-up observations of targets identified using TESS data, and how discoveries made with TESS data impact theoretical understanding.

This will be the third in a series of TESS Science Conferences. Previous conferences websites are available at TSC1 and TSC2.
