Spectral type distribution of TESS planet-hosting stars. Our simulations predict that TESS will find 496 planets orbiting M dwarfs, of which 371 orbit stars were observed at 2-minute cadence. About half the simulated planets in 2-minute cadence data orbited stars larger than the Sun, while 80% of planets found only in FFI data orbited stars larger than the Sun.
