Image Details
Caption: Figure 3.
Tracks of asteroids observed during TESS Sector 6 (2018 December 11–2019 January 7). Each panel shows a TESS FFI from 1 of the 16 CCDs. The colored lines represent the asteroid tracks, where the colors have no meaning other than representing different asteroids. The higher density of tracks in Camera 1 (top two rows) is due to its proximity to the ecliptic plane, where most of the solar system’s minor bodies orbit. Asteroids with highly inclined orbits are visible toward polar latitudes.
