Does anyone have a RA and DEC for this star that's been in the news lately?

Be great if we had an AUID and sequence as well.

Already in VSX

Hi John,

Patrick has already added the name to VSX. It can be found here:

https://www.aavso.org/vsx/index.php?view=detail.top&oid=579405

We added information in a recent paper (taken by news media).
The star was not a TESS discovery as claimed in that paper, it had been discovered as variable by ASAS-SN in 2018 and it has been in VSX ever since.

When you want to find coordinates for an object in a given catalogue, you can use VizieR for that.
TIC stands for TESS Input Catalogue.
If you go to the catalogue page and look by identifier, you will get the relevant information.

Cheers,
Sebastian
