Rare & notable finds

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

Already known: in SIMBAD as TYC 4011-990-1 (*); catalogued variable star nearby: ZTF J232141.45+593059.2 (BY, P = 0.85159 d), 101" 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.
Dimming beside the transit hint
On average the star is 2887 ppm dimmer just before and after the transit (42.4 sigma): what a moon (or ring/dust) travelling with the planet would cause. Instrument trends can do this too.

Notes

Probably noise or an instrument effect. Rare, already known: Lopsided transit; Dimming beside the transit (in SIMBAD as TYC 4011-990-1 (*); catalogued variable star nearby: ZTF J232141.45+593059.2 (BY, P = 0.85159 d), 101" away). Found automatically by hunt.py in TESS sector 24 (flagged in 2 sector(s)). Detection score 253.4. 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.
