Exoplanet search project
The TESS-Keck Survey or TKS is an exoplanet search project that uses the Keck I and the Automated Planet Finder (APF) to conduct ground-based follow-up of planet candidates discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite .[ 1] The TKS aims to measure the mass for about 100 exoplanets[ 2] and has been awarded some of the largest time allocations in the histories of Keck I and APF.[ 1] The program has four main science themes:[ 2]
the bulk compositions of small planets
dynamical temperatures and system architectures
a larger, more refined sample for future atmospheric studies
planets orbiting evolved stars
