Checked 2026-10-11 20:41 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, using every TESS sector of this star. All results (.json)

Notes

Found automatically by hunt.py in TESS sector 16 (flagged in 4 sector(s)). Detection score 1202.1. 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: 2026-10-10 Gaia hints at a hidden companion star (RUWE 5.0) 2026-10-10 Found by the automatic search in TESS sector 15
