Three TOI-3724.01 dips have fitted offsets below 5 arcsec from the target reference in all 40 tested models per sector

Do the three TOI-3724.01 dips come from a common sky region? We fit public TESS full-frame image cutouts from sectors 19, 59, and 73. We use fixed event shapes from a prior study. A fit to each pixel gives the lost-light image. We fit one pixel response function to this image and compare its position with a fitted target reference in the same sector. The main offsets are 0.747, 0.757, and 0.897 arcsec. Each sector has 40 distinct tested model settings. All fitted offsets stay below 5 arcsec. This supports a common unresolved region under the tested image models. It is not a 5 arcsec confidence bound. Tests at 82 control times give 738 artificial signals. A nearest-star rule gives 26 wrong labels in 164 injections of the target and a Gaia star 1.73 arcsec away. These dependent test counts are not host probabilities. We also make 4500 residual block draws. Large reference-image residuals show that model errors limit the position accuracy. The close pair remains unresolved. The work does not identify the physical host or confirm a planet. The package preserves exact analysis arrays, public data records, code, fitted images, all tests, figures, and offline reproduction instructions.

    We use its three event times, durations, ingress fractions, and Gaia field data. Its timing result motivates this source-position test. The new work fits lost-light image positions and tests position recovery; it does not repeat the timing or duration analysis.

    Bryson et al. (2013) describe difference-image source location for Kepler. This is established method context. We wrote the code used here.

    This DS Tuc study shows that a reference fit can change a close host label. It motivates caution. We use no code or data from it.
