TIC 167207091

Transit candidateProbably known

Notes

Probably noise or an instrument effect. WARNING: same period as the known variable Gaia DR3 5279921739291598336 46" away; the signal is probably its light leaking in. Found automatically by hunt.py in TESS sector 29 (flagged in 14 sector(s)). Detection score 78.4. Not in VSX, ASAS-SN or ZTF variable catalogues at the time of the search; not in Gaia DR3's variable lists. Unchecked by hand yet: verify the period, nearby stars and a wider catalogue search. Updates: 2026-10-12 Planet check: Probably noise or an instrument effect 2026-10-12 Found by the automatic search in TESS sector 29
