Eclipsing binaryNotable, already known
Rare & notable finds
A notable find: not unheard of, but the kind of system astronomers are glad to have more of. How these checks work →
Already known: catalogued variable star nearby: ASASSN-V J233738.35+605041.4 (L), 96" away. The rare-find check confirms what is on record - still nice, but not a new discovery.
- Transits of a giant star notable
Gaia places this star among the giants: planets transiting giants are rare, and a big star makes even a large planet's dip tiny.
Checked, nothing found (6)
Microlensing (rogue planet?) · Exocomet-shaped dip · Eclipse timing (third body?) · Eclipses changing depth · Pulsating star in an eclipsing binary · Extra dips outside the eclipses
