Notes
Probably noise or an instrument effect.
NOTE: SIMBAD already lists this star (TYC 1454-146-1) as type SB*, so it may be known after all - check the SIMBAD references.
Found automatically by hunt.py in TESS sector 23 (flagged in 1 sector(s)). Detection score 591.6.
Not in VSX, ASAS-SN or ZTF variable catalogues at the time of the search; Gaia DR3 lists it as a variable-star candidate.
Unchecked by hand yet: verify the period, nearby stars and a wider catalogue search.
