Screened data and cuts#
One FITS light curve; 18,954 rows; quality-zero, finite, positive PDCSAP flux rows retained: 16,551. Excluded by combined quality/validity criteria: 2,403. Time span 1842.509510–1868.827130 BTJD, TDB; 120 s cadence. No other targets/products were processed and no candidate selection pool was constructed.
Analysis#
- Median normalize PDCSAP; BLS likelihood objective.
- Period 0.5–5.0 d, 5,000 linearly spaced trials; durations 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.12, 0.14, 0.16 d.
- Best grid peak: P=1.0914182837 d, transit epoch=1843.0045102 BTJD, duration=2.448 h, depth=14,228 ppm, power=0.15507.
- SAP check at this same period and duration: power=0.14996, depth=13,987 ppm.
- Null diagnostic: 20 flux permutations (seed 20260925), each maximized over same BLS search. Zero null maxima >= observed; add-one Monte Carlo estimate 1/21=0.0476, floor-limited and not red-noise calibrated.
Outcome and gaps#
Recovered expected known transiting-system periodicity. This is a software/provenance smoke test, not a new object or vetted candidate. No null field population, search-wide completeness, injection/recovery calibration, detrending variants, independent epoch, pixel-level blend/centroid test, pointing audit, catalog sweep, or literature audit was performed. No rejected leads. Full interpretation and limitations are in REPORT.md; exact machine results are in results.json.
