Desert/ridge sub-Saturns show ~10% nearby-companion rates like hot Jupiters; savanna ones show ~70% like warm Jupiters, supporting HEM versus quiescent migration.

abstract
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is the first high-precision full-sky photometry survey in space. We present light curves from a magnitude limited set of stars and other stationary luminous objects from the TESS Full Frame Images, as reduced by the MIT Quick Look Pipeline (QLP). Our light curves cover the full two-year TESS Primary Mission and include $\sim$ 14,770,000 and $\sim$ 9,600,000 individual light curve segments in the Southern and Northern ecliptic hemispheres, respectively. We describe the photometry and detrending techniques we used to create the light curves, and compare the noise properties with theoretical expectations. All of the QLP light curves are available at MAST as a High Level Science Product via doi.org/10.17909/t9-r086-e880 (https://archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/qlp). This is the largest collection of TESS photometry available to the public to date.

Companion Architectures of Sub-Saturns: Distinct Migration Pathways Across the Neptunian Landscape
Desert/ridge sub-Saturns show ~10% nearby-companion rates like hot Jupiters; savanna ones show ~70% like warm Jupiters, supporting HEM versus quiescent migration.
