ZTF DR24 records deep dimming at ZTF J1944+4557 on 1 and 8 August 2025

Public ZTF DR24 data show two deep dimming measurements at the white dwarf ZTF J1944+4557. This star has known debris transits. The added data follow the July 2025 end of published observations. We test 62 public survey g and r exposures from August to October 2025. We use a quiet July to October 2024 reference and corrections from nearby stars. The measured flux decreases are 29.6 ± 5.1 percent in g on 1 August and 44.0 ± 5.8 percent in r on 8 August. The errors are one standard error in percentage points. Both measurements pass stricter image cuts. Fixed apertures in six public science-image cutouts also show less target light in the event images. There are no equally defined deep measurements among 1322 later control measurements. The selected deep fraction decreases from 13/71 in April to July to 2/62 in August to October. Missing catalog classifications alone cannot remove this decrease on the available image inventory. Sparse sampling prevents a physical transit rate estimate. Each August result is one short exposure. The data support later debris activity but do not resolve a transit or establish a new planet or period. The package preserves the input bytes, provenance, code, figures, selection records, and offline reproduction instructions.

    The added August 2025 measurements support later dimming in the known debris transit system. The prior study ends in July 2025. The sparse data do not test its period.

    This study provided a method example for local control stars and missing-row checks. We wrote new code and use individual exposures for the short transits at a different target.
