  Dear judyyanganrui

  I think this star is a "normal" star, i.e. we don't see any clear transits in its light curve. You might try out the tutorials or check the help discussion or the blog to learn how to find good transit candidates. I think a typical transit last 2-10 hours (i.e. single pixels drops can be ignored safely), depth must be smaller than about 0.03 (depending on the host star size), it should repeat within some reasonable period, etc. Good luck.
