Abstract
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has been extensively used to discover new exoplanet candidates. This ground-based follow-up aimed to provide further data and confirm the existence of TESS Object of Interest (TOI) 5938.01. This was done by using AstroImageJ to create and analyze the light curve. Observation data of TOI 5938.01 was obtained from George Mason University and was reduced and plate-solved using AstroImageJ. After generating a light curve using AstroImageJ, it is inconclusive whether or not there is a transit. This study aims to provide a foundation for future work that is necessary to determine if TOI 5938.01 has a transit or not.
