TESS PDCSAPFLUX light curves for L 98-59 as a function of time. The upper three panels represent data from Sector 2, the middle three panels from Sector 5, and the lower panels from Sector 8. For context, the transits of the planet candidate L 98-59 c are indicated with vertical gray lines. As L 98-59 c and L 98-59 d are just wide of a 2:1 period resonance, their transits can sometimes occur close to each other (e.g., around days 1445 and 1459.5), and can even create a syzygy-like configuration near day 1452.2.
