Orbital period of TOI-4596 remains unconstrained

Determine the orbital period of the TESS Object of Interest TOI-4596, for which only an additional single transit event was observed in TESS data and the period could not be constrained by the authors’ analysis.

Background

In discussing candidates not included in their occurrence rate calculations, the authors note that TOI-4596 shows indications of a single additional transit in the available TESS data. However, due to the single-transit nature and limited constraints, they could not determine its orbital period.

This unresolved period prevents inclusion of TOI-4596 in the statistical occurrence analysis and highlights the need for additional observations to measure the period and confirm the candidate.

References

TOI-4596 has an additional single transit event, but we are unable to constrain the period.
