  How would you classify this light curve? Also, have a look at the flares in Q8.1, Q7.3, Q7.2 and Q5.2! In Q5.2 the magnitude increases from 1 to 1.28 (if the last point is to believed) at day 21.5. Am I easy to impress, or are these quite large?

  I'd say no transits in this light curve. It's a tough one since the star is pulsating with its radius changing in size causing the repeating pattern you see in the light curve. Definitely flares as well. A very active star.

  One thing to keep in mind, most transits last few to tens of hours, pulsations and other variability in the star tend to occur on longer timescales.

  Cheers,
