Notes

WARNING: same period as the known variable TSVSC1 TN-N133111222-30-67-1 35" away; the signal is probably its light leaking in. Found automatically by hunt.py in TESS sector 16 (flagged in 2 sector(s)). Detection score 839.3. 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. Updates: 2026-10-10 Gaia hints at a hidden companion star (RUWE 1.7) 2026-10-10 Found by the automatic search in TESS sector 16
