## Key points

- The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission has been providing millions of light curves of stars across the entire sky since 2018.
- Thousands of planet candidates have been detected by TESS that require careful examination before being considered for follow-up programs.
- The Plant Patrol citizen science project has produced a second catalog containing 999 uniformly-vetted exoplanet candidates within the TESS ExoFOP archive.
- The catalog was created by leveraging the power of Citizen Science Planet Patrol and vetting TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs) based on the results from Discovery And Vetting of Exoplanets (DAVE) pipeline.
- An Automatic Disposition Generator was employed to generate final classifications for each TOI that had been vetted by at least three individuals.
- Of all candidates in the catalog, 752 TOIs passed through rigorous vetting and were labeled as planet candidates; 142 were ruled out as false positives and 105 were flagged as potential false positives.
- The final dispositions and comments for all planet candidates are publicly available in a supplementary table.
- This new catalog provides a comprehensive and reliable list of exoplanet candidates that can be used for future follow-up programs.

## Summary

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission has been providing the scientific community with millions of light curves of stars across the entire sky since 2018. Among these light curves, thousands of planet candidates have been detected by TESS that require careful examination before being considered for follow-up programs. To address this issue, the Plant Patrol citizen science project has produced a second catalog containing 999 uniformly-vetted exoplanet candidates within the TESS ExoFOP archive. The catalog was created by leveraging the power of Citizen Science Planet Patrol and vetting TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs) based on the results from Discovery And Vetting of Exoplanets (DAVE) pipeline. Additionally, an Automatic Disposition Generator was employed to generate final classifications for each TOI that had been vetted by at least three individuals. Of all candidates in the catalog, 752 TOIs passed through rigorous vetting and were labeled as planet candidates; 142 were ruled out as false positives and 105 were flagged as potential false positives. The final dispositions and comments for all planet candidates are publicly available in a supplementary table. This new catalog provides a comprehensive and reliable list of exoplanet candidates that can be used for future follow-up programs.
