TL;DR: The NASA Exoplanet Archive as mentioned in this paper is a database and toolset for the exoplanet community, containing properties of all published exoplanets, Kepler planet candidates, threshold-crossing events, data validation reports and target stellar parameters, light curves from the Kepler and CoRoT missions and from several ground-based surveys, and spectra and radial velocity measurements from the literature.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the catalogs assembled and the algorithms used to populate the revised TESS Input Catalog (TIC), based on the incorporation of the Gaia second data release.

TL;DR: In this paper, an erratum for this article has been published in 2018 AJ 156 183, https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-3881/aade86

TL;DR: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will conduct a nearly all-sky photometric survey over two years, with a core mission goal to discover small transiting exoplanets orbiting nearby bright stars as discussed by the authors.
