Abstract
We present an update on the variable star survey performed on the TESS 30 min Full Frame
Image (FFI) data reported by our first two papers in this series. This update includes a
contamination analysis in order to identify false positives and analysis of the TESS 10 min
FFI data collected during Years 3 and 4 of the mission. We clarify the variability status of
2 995 targets identifying 1 403 variable stars. In addition, we spectroscopically classify 24 prefiltered targets sampled with the 10 min FFI data and discover 11 new sdB pulsators. Future
follow-up space- and/or ground-based data of variables reported here, to identify the nature
of their variability and reveal spectroscopic parameters of the stars, would complement this
work.
