Checked 2026-10-12 08:10 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, using every TESS sector of this star. All results (.json)

Notes

Found automatically by hunt.py in TESS sector 21 (flagged in 3 sector(s)). Detection score 561.0. Not in VSX, ASAS-SN or ZTF variable catalogues at the time of the search; Gaia DR3 lists it as a variable-star candidate. Unchecked by hand yet: verify the period, nearby stars and a wider catalogue search. Updates: 2026-10-09 Gaia hints at a hidden companion star (RUWE 13.8) 2026-10-09 Found by the automatic search in TESS sector 14
