Two stars of about 6,100 K and 3,100 K (2.6 and 1.6 times the Sun's radius, ~1.1 and ~0.6 solar masses) orbit each other every 31.2 hours, 4.2 million km apart (the Sun-Mercury distance is 58 million km). We see the orbit at 56 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. The secondary eclipse arrives 94 minutes earlier than half an orbit after the primary, a sign of a slightly oval (eccentric) orbit: e*cos(omega) = -0.0785.","tic":"231824094","title":"TIC 231824094","tmag":"10.42","type":"Transit candidate"}
