The upcoming TESS mission will detect thousands of candidate transitingexoplanets. Those candidates require extensive follow-up observations todistinguish genuine planets from false positives, and to resolve the physicalproperties of the planets and their host stars. While the TESS mission isfunded to conduct those observations for the smallest and most Earth-sizecandidate systems, the large number of additional candidates will have to bevetted and measured by the rest of the astronomical community. To realize fullythe scientific potential of the TESS mission, we must ensure that there areadequate observing resources for the community to examine the TESS transitcandidates and find the best candidates for detailed characterization. Theprimary purpose of this report is to describe the follow-up observational needsfor planetary discoveries made by transit surveys - in particular TESS.However, many of the same types of observations are necessary for the otherdiscovery techniques as well, particularly with regards to the characterizationof the host stars and the planetary orbits. It is worth acknowledging thatwhile a planet discovery may be a one-time event, the deeper understanding of aplanetary system is an ongoing process, requiring observations with betterprecision over longer time spans.
