The source SRGt 062340.2-265715 is in the field of view of TESS sector 6 observed between 2018-12-15 to 2019-01-06. The system was first reported in ATel #14219.
We report here the timing analysis of the TESS light curve of SRGt 062340.2-265715. The Lomb-Scargle periodogram (Lomb 1976, Ap&SS, 39, 447; Scargle 1982, ApJ, 263, 835) shows modulation at a period of 3.927 +- 0.02844 hours. Phase dispersion minimization also gives a consistent period of 3.94 hours.
This ATel includes data collected by the TESS mission, which are publicly available from the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST). Funding for the TESS mission is provided by NASA's Science Mission directorate.
