Optimized transit detection algorithm to search for periodic transits of small planets (2019, methodology): “Groundbased transit searches such as HATNet (Bakos et al. 2004), WASP (Pollacco et al. 2006), KELT (Pepper et al. 2007), and CHESPA (Zhang et al. 2018), and space-based search campaigns like CoRoT (Auvergne et al. 2009), Kepler (Borucki et al. 2010), K2 (Howell et al. 2014), and TESS (Ricker et al. ”
SOAR TESS Survey. I. Sculpting of TESS Planetary Systems by Stellar Companions (2019, methodology): “The planet search pipeline for TESS, run by the Science Processing Operations Center (SPOC; Jenkins et al. 2016), flags a potential transit candidate if the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) is greater than 7.1.”
TESS Eclipsing Binary Stars. I. Short-cadence Observations of 4584 Eclipsing Binaries in Sectors 1–26 (2021, methodology): “SPOC pipeline: All TESS 2 minute pixel stamps are processed by the Science Processing Operations Center (SPOC) pipeline (Jenkins et al. 2016).”
Stellar Flares from the First TESS Data Release: Exploring a New Sample of M Dwarfs (2019, methodology): “The 2 minute cadence data were extracted using the Science Processing Operations Center (SPOC) pipeline, a descendant of the Kepler mission pipeline (Jenkins 2002; Jenkins et al. 2010, 2016; Jenkins 2017; Stumpe et al. 2014; Smith et al. 2012).”
