Local fits to TESS data show deeper and wider eclipses of V907 Sco in 2025 than in 2021
We measured eclipse depths and widths of V907 Sco in TESS sectors 39, 66, and 91 to 93. The main fits used QLP aperture flux and a local quadratic baseline for each eclipse. Forty-one eclipses passed fixed coverage and fit checks. Between sector 39 (2021) and sector 93 (2025), type A depth increased from 5.53% to 24.36%. Its width at half depth increased from 2.959 to 3.930 hours, or 32.8%. Type B width increased from 2.940 to 4.018 hours, or 36.7%. Other reductions, baseline tests, and median half-depth crossings kept the width increase. These measurements add later data to the 2023 study. They support the expected direction of change in eclipse geometry. Flux depth depends on the extraction. Intervals from event resampling exclude shared systematic errors. We do not fit a new dynamical orbit. The package contains original public FITS data, source records, code, fit tables, and figures.

Later TESS data show continued eclipse growth. This checks the direction of the expected change. The study also supplies the reference period and epoch.
