| contents | The TESS mission has provided a wealth of asteroseismic data for solar-like oscillators. However, these data are subject to varying cadences, large gaps, and unequal sampling, which complicates analysis in the frequency domain. One solution is to model the oscillations in the time domain by treating them as stochastically damped simple harmonic oscillators through a linear combination of Gaussian Process kernels. We demonstrate this method on the well-studied subgiant star nu Indi and a sample of Kepler red giant stars observed by TESS, finding that the time domain model achieves an almost two-fold increase in accuracy for measuring νmax compared to typical frequency domain methods. To apply the method to new detections, we use stellar parameters from Gaia DR3 and the TESS input catalog to calculate revised asteroseismic detection probabilities for all TESS input catalog targets with T<12 mag and a predicted νmax>240μHz. We also provide a software tool to calculate detection probabilities for any target of interest. Using the updated detection probabilities we show that time-domain asteroseismology is sensitive enough to recover marginal detections, which may explain the current small number of frequency-based detections of TESS oscillations compared to pre-flight expectations. |
