APH0010 Recurring transit every 24 days (in many quarters)

  • Room_101 by Room_101

    Hello, I'm new here, never posted on the forum.
    I looked at some quarters of this particular star, and there is a recurring large dip every 24 day (best seen in 1.2 / 1.3 / 8.1 / 13.2).
    Does somebody know if this one is marked as a possible candidate?

    Yes, apparently it was noticed and marked as Kepler Object of Interest KOI 231.01. See database information below. However it appears a closer look revealed signs of an eclipsing binary, so it was later re-designated as a False Positive. Very distinct shallow transits though, very close as a planet candidate.
