    Based on the light curve of the star and its brightness of this star is likely a red dwarf of spectral type M6-M8V .Based on published data on the star, there is a suspicion of the planet for 28 days. All other features based on the adjusted transit data

    probably just any activity of the star itself or hardware glitch. This signal is detected at intervals of 2089.25, 2113.13 and 2131.81 around. While the nature of the possible candidate to be confirmed. It is also possible that the change in the curve can be caused by noise. Judging by the depth of the transit (unless, of course, is not just a noise or hardware failure), this planet will be roughly comparable to the mass of the Earth, and perhaps even less.
