A 1.1 per cent symmetric dip on 3 September 2019 in TESS Sector 15

TESS Sector 15 SPOC photometry holds a symmetric dip of 1.11 per cent centred at BTJD 1730.12 (2019-09-03 14:55 UTC), about 0.7 days from first to last contact, present in both SAP and PDCSAP flux with flat background, at SNR 76 in a 3-day-detrended search; it is the event Madurga-Favieres et al. and Zhu et al. model as a planetary transit.
