Transit candidateProbably known

Notes

Probably noise or an instrument effect. WARNING: same period as the known variable ASASSN-V J020137.88+524308.0 35" away; the signal is probably its light leaking in. Found automatically by hunt.py in TESS sector 18 (flagged in 1 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: 2026-10-11 Planet check: Probably noise or an instrument effect 2026-10-11 Found by the automatic search in TESS sector 18
