Two stars of about 5,000 K and 5,300 K (0.9 and 1.0 times the Sun's radius, ~0.9 and ~0.9 solar masses) orbit each other every 45.4 hours, 5.4 million km apart (the Sun-Mercury distance is 58 million km). We see the orbit at 81 degrees (90 = exactly edge-on), close enough to edge-on that they eclipse each other. Sizes, separation, tilt and colours come from fitting the TESS eclipses (see the model-fit plot) plus Gaia's temperature; masses assume normal main-sequence stars. The painted look, surface detail and background were added by a locally run image AI; the stars' sizes, colours and spacing follow the measured data.","tic":"156836267","title":"TIC 156836267","tmag":"11.94","type":"Eclipsing binary"}
