Parabolic Increase in Starlight
-
by bundrew
At Q1-1 day 11 there is a very symmetrical parabolic feature that very clearly stands out in the data. The regular nature of the feature is very unusual, I've never seen something like it before in the starlight data. I'm not entirely sure what it could be. Some sort of malfunction in the telescope? Something related to starspots? Passing in front of another star or object that added some brightness?

My guess is this is an asteroid (in our Solar System) passing in front of the star. Such events are surprisingly common. Numerous other examples are listed on C4 K2 finds but this star is not mentioned.
