Abstract

Abstract We screen and analyze exoplanet candidates around A-type stars (defined as T eff between 7500 and 10,000 K) observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite to evaluate their likelihood of being genuine exoplanets. Our analysis involves transit signal searches, light-curve detrending, estimation of nearby-source contamination, and calculation of false-positive probabilities (FPPs). Among the 18 candidates analyzed, four exhibit relatively low FPP values (
