Abstract
Light curves feature many kinds of variability, including instrumental systematics, intrinsic stellar variability such as pulsations, and flux changes caused by transiting exoplanets or eclipsing binary stars. Detrending is a key pre-planet-search data processing step that aims to remove variability not due to transits. This data release note describes improvements to the Quick-Look Pipeline's detrending algorithm via the inclusion of quaternion data to remove short-timescale systematics. We describe updates to our procedure, intermediate data products outputted by the algorithm, and improvements to light curve precision.
