Transit candidateProbably known

Notes

Probably noise or an instrument effect. WARNING: same period as the known variable ASASSN-V J063245.79-704917.8 46" away; the signal is probably its light leaking in. Found automatically by hunt.py in TESS sector 31 (flagged in 18 sector(s)). Detection score 268.7. 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 27
