Abstract

Based on all 2 minute cadence TESS light curves from Sector 1 to 60, we provide a catalog of 8651 solar-like oscillators, including frequency at maximum power (νmax , with its median precision σ = 5.39%), large frequency separation (Δν, σ = 6.22%), and seismically derived masses, radii, and surface gravity values. In this sample, we have detected 2173 new oscillators and added 4373 new Δν measurements. Our seismic parameters are consistent with those from Kepler, K2, and previous TESS data. The median fractional residual in νmax is 1.63%, with a scatter of 14.75%, and in Δν it is 0.11%, with a scatter of 10.76%. We have detected 476 solar-like oscillators with νmax exceeding the Nyquist frequency of Kepler long-cadence data during the evolutionary phases of subgiants and the base of the red giant branch, which provide a valuable resource for understanding angular momentum transport.
