Purpose ======= This directory contains some tools aiding the batched off-line retrieval of visibility information of both stationary and moving Solar System objects observed with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Visibility information is available as of now up to the end of the 6th year of the mission, up to 2024-10-01. Contents of this directory ========================== tessvisibility-0.1.tar.gz The `tessvisibility` tool, version 0.1 tessvisibility-0.2.tar.gz The `tessvisibility` tool, version 0.2 tessvisibility-0.3.tar.gz The `tessvisibility` tool, version 0.3 (updated S46 pointing) tessvisibility-0.4.tar.gz The `tessvisibility` tool, version 0.4 (poingings up to S69, end of Year 5) tessvisibility-0.4.1.tar.gz The `tessvisibility` tool, version 0.4.1 (standalone resolver added) tessvisibility-0.5.tar.gz The `tessvisibility` tool, version 0.5 (provisional poingings up to S83, end of Year 6) horizons-ephem.sh Simple script for retrieving ephemerides data from NASA JPL's HORIZONS interface (https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi) tessvisibility.sh A protable, bash-based version of the `tessvisibility` (but only with limited features, up to S83, i.e. end of Year 6).
