Please help me with the simulated curve

  • galaxyfox by galaxyfox

    Hello,

    I was classifying and I got a simulated curve.
    The problem is that the simulated curve doesn't show any dip in light.
    I understand that simulations should help people to better recognize the patterns in the light curves but
    what's the purpose of the simulations when there are not dip in light at all?

    Curve was: http://talk.planethunters.org/#/subjects/APH00013po?quarter=1-1

    Check out this blog post for a full explanation of the simulations.

    The main purpose of the simulations is to determine which sizes of planets can be spotted by planet hunters and also which planets are too small to be found. You shouldn't expect to find to them all because many examples are deliberately too small to be found.
