TIC (TESS Input Catalog ConeSearch)

Published by MAST: Mikulski Archive at Space Telescope | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: November 03, 2026 at 11:45 PM | Dataset Last Updated: November 03, 2026
The TESS Input Catalog is a comprehensive collection of 1.73 billion sources on the sky, providing stellar parameters for evaluation of potential planetary transit signals. It combines sources from many other catalogs, including 2MASS, LAMOST, SuperBlink, HSOY, RAVE, APOGEE, UCAC, KIC, EPIC, Tycho-2, APASS, AllWISE, SDSS, Gaia DR2, and Hipparcos. It was constructed for the TESS mission to serve as a source for selecting targets to observe with the TESS two-minute cadence, and to provide stellar parameter information for evaluating the properties of transit candidates.\n\nMAST catalog holdings are available via Cone Search endpoints. All available missions are listed at http://archive.stsci.edu/vo/mast_services.html.\nThis service provides access to the TESS input catalog (TIC), currently version 8.2
