Eclipsing binaryProbably known
Notes
WARNING: same period as the known variable SSS_J222407.1-692922 51" away; the signal is probably its light leaking in.
NOTE: SIMBAD already lists this star (TYC 9337-1923-1) as type SB*, so it may be known after all - check the SIMBAD references.
Found automatically by hunt.py in TESS sector 27 (flagged in 1 sector(s)). Detection score 96.1.
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.
