Context from the literature

The list of exoplanets detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) contains bodies with a wide variety of properties, with significant ranges in orbital distances, masses, radii, composition, habitability, and host star type. As of 17 September 2025, the TESS Mission has detected 8,361 planets and confirmed 693 planets, including hot Jupiters, super-Earths, circumbinary planets, and planets located in the circumstellar habitable zones of their host stars. TESS has detected over 7,668 unconfirmed planet candidates.
