Sonification of PH1 - Isolating the Planet Transit in the Quadruple Star System as Sound

Artist's conception of PH1 copyright Dirk Terrell 2012

Planet Hunters forum Talk member troyw has isolated the transit of PH1, also known as Kepler 64b, in the Kepler light curve data as sound. In his previous sonification, you can hear the transits for the two stars that make up the eclipsing binary system that PH1 transits through as part of a larger quadruple star system. Many listeners said the sound of the star transits were eligible for the sound track of a horror movie. Now things are better in that you will hear the transit of PH1 itself amongst the eclipsing binary transits. You will have to listen closely to tag the sound of PH1. Hint, it is not a ping.
