Weird pulsations

  • infpat_AST by infpat_AST

    I've seen in other stars this bizarre thing- the stars brightness is variable, nothing too exciting until some starnge pulsation begin to happen that last a day or so. Does anyone have an idea what could this mean?

    Hi infpat_AST, if you are talking about the item at 2275 days, then its a data glitch, there is a post somewhere on this forum that explains it but I can't now find it. If memory serves Kepler was firing its thrusters at that time, and the computer failed to properly correct the image.
