THE STRANGE FLUX-DIPS FOUND IN KEPLER DATA OF THE STAR KIC 8462852 HAVE GIVEN RISE TO ONE OF THE MOST ENIGMATIC ASTRONOMIC DISCOVERIES IN RECENT TIME AS NO SATISFYING EXPLANATIONS FOR THESE DIPS HAVE BEEN FOUND YET. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO ACQUIRE 2 MINUTE CADENCE OBSERVATIONS OF THE STAR WITH THE TESS SATELLITE IN ORDER TO EXPLORE THE STAR'S VARIABILITY. THE RAPID AND UNINTERRUPTED CADENCE OF SUCH TESS OBSERVATIONS WILL PROVIDE US WITH THE MOST TIME-RESOLVED DATA SET AVAILABLE/OBTAINABLE. WE WILL AUGMENT THESE TESS DATA WITH COORDINATED MULTI-WAVELENGTH OBSERVATIONS CONTEMPORANEOUSLY PLANNED AT GROUND-BASED OBSERVATORIES.
