Ground-based light curve follow-up validation observations of the TESS object of interest TOI 5907.01

Abstract

This research paper analyzes candidate exoplanets and their host stars using data collected from the NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Submission and George Mason University’s Ground-based telescope observations. Specifically, this paper targets the planetary nature of TESS Object of Interest 5907.01, which orbits the host star TOI 5907. TOI 5907.01 was first detected by the Tess Mission in 2022. Afterwards, the data were reduced, used to plate solve images, and performed multi-aperture photometry to plot and analyze the light curve. Processing was done through the software AstroImageJ. Through this process, we found that there is no satisfactory light curve to which a planetary nature could be confirmed. Therefore, TOI 5907.01 is likely not an exoplanet and shouldn’t be considered a candidate. However due to several data collection issues, further data collection should be held for TOI 5907.01 with a longer imaging duration.
