Image Details
Caption: Figure 5.
Archival imaging from the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2 Blue ∼1984, Red ∼1992, and NIR ∼1997), used as a proper-motion check. In each panel, the blue circle marks the stellar position at the plate epoch and the green circle the current (2016) position; the large proper motion (∼196 mas yr−1) has displaced the star appreciably over the baseline. No background source is seen at the present-day position, excluding a chance-aligned background eclipsing binary as the origin of the signals.
