Notes

WARNING: same period as the known variable ASASSN-V J185544.11-531647.3 57" away; the signal is probably its light leaking in. Found automatically by hunt.py in TESS sector 13 (flagged in 1 sector(s)). Detection score 1243.6. 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: 2026-10-09 Gaia hints at a hidden companion star (RUWE 6.8) 2026-10-09 Found by the automatic search in TESS sector 13
