Rare & notable finds

Something unusual, worth a look - less certain than a significant find. How these checks work →

Already known: in SIMBAD as UCAC4 727-061942 (SB*); catalogued variable star nearby: Gaia DR3 2233854138952744704 (DSCT|GDOR|SXPHE), 58" away. The rare-find check confirms what is on record - still nice, but not a new discovery.

Lopsided transit hint
The start of the transit is deeper than the end: a dust tail (disintegrating planet), rings, a fast-spinning star, or a blend.

Checked, nothing found (10)

Microlensing (rogue planet?) · Exocomet-shaped dip · Habitable zone & size · Transit timing (TTV) · Transit duration (TDV) · Changing transit depth · Dimming beside the transit · Trojan companions (L4/L5) · Self-lensing binary · Type of star

Notes

Rare, already known: Lopsided transit (in SIMBAD as UCAC4 727-061942 (SB*); catalogued variable star nearby: Gaia DR3 2233854138952744704 (DSCT|GDOR|SXPHE), 58" away). NOTE: SIMBAD already lists this star (UCAC4 727-061942) as type SB*, so it may be known after all - check the SIMBAD references. Found automatically by hunt.py in TESS sector 14 (flagged in 3 sector(s)). Detection score 159.1. 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: 2026-10-11 Rare-find check: Lopsided transit 2026-10-11 Found by the automatic search in TESS sector 14
