Histogram of the K/2 values (in light red) and resulting desired precision values set for each of the culled TESS simulation stars (in blue). The overlap region appears as a dark red. These values are obtained by calculating the K values of any planets detected by TESS in the simulation where the smallest semi-amplitude is at least 1 m s−1 and then taking the smallest semi-amplitude in each system and dividing it in half. For those stars whose result is <1 m s−1, we instead set the desired precision level to 1 m s−1, so as not to come up against the noise floor of the APF.
