KIC 12454613 Planet Candidate


Quarter 5 Light Curve for KIC 12454613 / APH52007327

Analysis by Kian Jek:


"No APOs seen and the normalized detrended transit plot looks quite convincing, rapid drop off, symmetrical shoulders and a flat-bottom with clustered data points. ~2.5 RE planetary object if the transit is real. Given that the transit duration is 15 hours, we should anticipate a long-period orbit ~ 1250 days, maybe more."
