Candidate variable stars and candidate mass-gap companions from public Gaia, TESS and ZTF data (version 2)

This record lists candidates only. Nothing here is confirmed. Table A: 10 candidate new variable stars (7 delta Scuti or SX Phoenicis type pulsators, 1 spotted rotator, 1 eclipsing binary, 1 faint SX Phe star) that passed locked search rules, per-segment period checks, TESS pixel tests and catalogue cross-matches (same stars as version 1). Table C: 15 Gaia DR3 binaries whose minimum companion mass is above 3 solar masses after conservative mass cuts; for 12 of the 15 a hidden pair of normal stars is not ruled out, and Table C has not yet been cross-matched against published compact-object and binary catalogues. A further candidate list is held back until its catalogue cross-match is complete. If any of these stars is already published, the credit belongs to the earlier work.
