Star brightness dropping to 40% from a planet ?? (not a pulsar)

• by Aalkatraz

  Kepler id: 9284741
  It is not a pulsar for sure because this can be visible imediately.
  What type of object can cover the star up to 30-50% ?!
  In a period of 4 quarters the star has reached around 30 times when its brighness lowered to the index of 0.6
  Are those ultra big planets ? (Jupiter covers the Sun only by 1%)
  Now imagine what could cover a star over 40% ...

  Hello! It seems that object is an eclipsing binary system. Here's another look at that data in a different way.
