Caption: Figure 1.
Top panel: TESS target pixel file cutouts of the three sectors of Gaia BH2, with the selected aperture overlaid in red. Note the presence of potential nearby contaminants. Within two pixels of the selected aperture, there are no contaminants brighter than 13th Gaia magnitude besides BH2* itself. Bottom panel: light curves from each sector obtained through regression correction. All the light curves have been binned to a uniform 30 minute cadence, and outliers have been removed.
