TESS observations of KIC 7739728 — a new FK Com type star candidate
Abstract
Using the observations with the Kepler space telescope we found that parameters of KIC 7739728 are close to that ones of the FK Com type stars and that the object can be considered as a potential candidate for inclusion in the number of objects of this type. In this paper we analysed all available data for KIC 7739728 in the TESS mission archive (14 and 26 sectors). It is shown that the light curve of this star clearly exhibits the properties of regular rotational modulation and that in the time interval between 14 and 26 sectors the phenomenon of switching the positions of the longitudes of the active regions on the surface of the star (flip-flop) occurred. The arguments in favour of the possible relation of KIC 7739728 to objects of the FK Com type are considered.
