EPIC 204195987 - Young stellar object

  • TED91 by TED91

    Dips for EPIC 204195987 are similar to those for famous KIC 8462852 (paper X). Depth is almost 60%. In case it's not some glitch, I guess it's not so exciting, because EPIC 204195987 is Young stellar object In Ophiuchus cloud (distance about 125 pc). It means a lot of dust and debris like planetesimals.

    SpType M6.0 according to (HARVEY+, 2012)

    I see what you mean noting a possible glitch in this YSO (or is it still just a candidate?) Either way, simultaneous increases and decreases in flux can be a concern sometimes. But maybe young systems are different. The good news excitement-wise is that this K2 data is relative new compared to K1's KIC 8462852, so maybe we'll see more fascinating study results published about these in the near future.
