# TESS Program G011259 Title: Rr Lyrae As Probes Of The Distance Scale And Structure Formation: Precision Calibration Of The Gaia Sample With Tess PI: Nataf, David - Johns Hopkins University Type: N/A Summary: We request high-cadence observations of 59 nearby RR Lyrae for which Gaia will yield precise parallaxes and proper motions. The plan is to investigate how the luminosity scatter in the RR Lyrae period-luminosity relation is associated with higher-order moments in the shapes of their lightcurves. This campaign will be complementary with other concurrent campaigns such as Brava-RR, the Apogee RR Lyrae program, and the Carnegie RR Lyrae program. TESS is the only facility capable of providing lightcurves that are high-precision, densely-sampled, and of uniform systematics across the whole sky. # Sector 001 targets observed (5) 126910093,317.8741,-45.075,9.71,G011259 206460831,330.725,-21.5257,10.58,G011259 89358641,319.0947,-30.2842,10.99,G011259 425863844,352.1314,-47.4537,11.55,G011259 234518883,14.5405,-63.3958,11.18,G011259 # Sector 002 targets observed (6) 313935068,0.7007,-24.9454,10.03,G011259 439399635,1.0216,-16.9977,11.57,G011259 8963901,354.6371,-9.3188,11.1,G011259 41833926,19.5625,-39.2127,10.84,G011259 425863844,352.1314,-47.4537,11.55,G011259 234518883,14.5405,-63.3958,11.18,G011259 # Sector 003 targets observed (5) 306392378,15.168,-15.9578,11.27,G011259 344299442,23.0341,1.3415,9.45,G011259 41833926,19.5625,-39.2127,10.84,G011259 72636949,31.9667,-26.8664,9.96,G011259 32282599,23.8488,-35.1287,11.62,G011259 # Sector 004 targets observed (6) 1029392,33.8122,-10.8003,10.34,G011259 1129237,37.1353,-8.3584,11.6,G011259 9843991,47.9672,-11.3542,9.44,G011259 365368501,47.1291,10.4454,8.99,G011259 323282620,52.5934,-36.0538,10.71,G011259 259590223,72.5275,-50.657,11.1,G011259 # Sector 005 targets observed (4) 146324929,74.0751,-21.2175,10.35,G011259 114923989,72.4344,-15.7413,9.29,G011259 14231596,78.7826,-41.6281,10.46,G011259 259590223,72.5275,-50.657,11.1,G011259 # Sector 006 targets observed (2) 343935118,93.3115,-37.2501,12.11,G011259 259590223,72.5275,-50.657,11.1,G011259 # Sector 008 targets observed (1) 59759791,110.1482,-46.7084,10.98,G011259 # Sector 009 targets observed (4) 101184036,153.3505,-13.1382,10.43,G011259 219249305,171.6234,-17.9144,11.36,G011259 144189704,177.2342,-10.4414,10.99,G011259 168276785,154.0208,-29.7287,10.43,G011259 # Sector 010 targets observed (1) 453469791,187.6269,-26.0475,10.1,G011259 # Sector 012 targets observed (1) 291451813,248.1035,-83.9035,9.18,G011259 # Sector 001 targets observed (5) 126910093,317.8741,-45.075,9.71,G011259 206460831,330.725,-21.5257,10.58,G011259 89358641,319.0947,-30.2842,10.99,G011259 425863844,352.1314,-47.4537,11.55,G011259 234518883,14.5405,-63.3958,11.18,G011259 # Sector 002 targets observed (6) 313935068,0.7007,-24.9454,10.03,G011259 439399635,1.0216,-16.9977,11.57,G011259 8963901,354.6371,-9.3188,11.1,G011259 41833926,19.5625,-39.2127,10.84,G011259 425863844,352.1314,-47.4537,11.55,G011259 234518883,14.5405,-63.3958,11.18,G011259 # Sector 003 targets observed (5) 306392378,15.168,-15.9578,11.27,G011259 344299442,23.0341,1.3415,9.45,G011259 41833926,19.5625,-39.2127,10.84,G011259 72636949,31.9667,-26.8664,9.96,G011259 32282599,23.8488,-35.1287,11.62,G011259 # Sector 004 targets observed (6) 1029392,33.8122,-10.8003,10.34,G011259 1129237,37.1353,-8.3584,11.6,G011259 9843991,47.9672,-11.3542,9.44,G011259 365368501,47.1291,10.4454,8.99,G011259 323282620,52.5934,-36.0538,10.71,G011259 259590223,72.5275,-50.657,11.1,G011259 # Sector 005 targets observed (4) 146324929,74.0751,-21.2175,10.35,G011259 114923989,72.4344,-15.7413,9.29,G011259 14231596,78.7826,-41.6281,10.46,G011259 259590223,72.5275,-50.657,11.1,G011259 # Sector 006 targets observed (2) 343935118,93.3115,-37.2501,12.11,G011259 259590223,72.5275,-50.657,11.1,G011259 # Sector 008 targets observed (1) 59759791,110.1482,-46.7084,10.98,G011259 # Sector 009 targets observed (4) 101184036,153.3505,-13.1382,10.43,G011259 219249305,171.6234,-17.9144,11.36,G011259 144189704,177.2342,-10.4414,10.99,G011259 168276785,154.0208,-29.7287,10.43,G011259 # Sector 010 targets observed (1) 453469791,187.6269,-26.0475,10.1,G011259 # Sector 012 targets observed (1) 291451813,248.1035,-83.9035,9.18,G011259 # Sector 013 targets observed (11) 337440887,270.7678,-52.7226,11.5,G011259 381559060,269.7945,-49.4335,10.29,G011259 253708643,281.9898,-37.7397,10.03,G011259 59661876,273.3977,-34.3173,9.69,G011259 351126671,299.5002,-65.7363,12.06,G011259 339258033,294.5141,-60.611,12.08,G011259 337274166,269.0512,-57.1623,11.43,G011259 352478596,324.0388,-77.3039,11.6,G011259 404378743,328.397,-82.779,11.02,G011259 291451813,248.1035,-83.9035,9.18,G011259 383554625,206.6305,-84.4017,10.32,G011259
