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: on NASA's TESS list as TOI 2384.01 (CP); SIMBAD lists TOI-2384b also as TOI-2384b; in SIMBAD as TOI-2384b (Pl); catalogued variable star nearby: Gaia DR3 4699703062398220544 (DSCT|GDOR|SXPHE, P = 0.41881 d), 105" away. The rare-find check confirms what is on record - still nice, but not a new discovery.

Giant planet around a red dwarf notable
A 10.8 Earth-radius planet around a 3712 K red dwarf. Planet formation theory struggles to make giant planets around such small stars - only a few dozen are known.

Notes

Already known to NASA: TOI 2384.01 (CP). Notable, already known: Giant planet around a red dwarf (on NASA's TESS list as TOI 2384.01 (CP); SIMBAD lists TOI-2384b also as TOI-2384b). Already on NASA's TESS list as TOI 2384.01 (CP). Found automatically by hunt.py in TESS sector 29 (flagged in 5 sector(s)). Detection score 62.3. 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.
