_Probable_ new binary discovery. The orbital period, P_orb = 19.47 h, is almost an exact 6:1 ratio of the short period, meaning the secondary period may be the result of the Fourier analysis latching onto noise. The same results were found using orders of 2,3,4,5,6,7, which somewhat favors the result being real and not a processing artifact.
