    Well, I can't see it. Where do you see these dips? Which quarter at which dates, please.

    Thanks for the reply. Check out Quarter 4-3. That is probably the Quarter where it is most apparant. Period is somwhere between 0.75 and 1 day. It is very subtle and at some points seems to go away, but I am sure there is a pattern.

    Could a planet small enough to give such a small dip have a period so small?

    In Q4-3 I might see something at 9.7, 10.9, 11.9, 13.0, possible period about 1.1. But in other quarters I cannot see much. But it is not impossible that there is a planet hidden in the data with such a short period and size. The TPS (TCE) list shows nothing unfortunately. It could also be a slight pulsating of the star, contamination by another nearby star or what else. Difficult to say.
