____________________________________

This is a light curve from a star which is used to find extrasolar planets using the transit method.
____________________________________

This is a light curve from a dwarf star 0.9 times the radius of our Sun. On day 1.6 there's an obvious transit. In the other data of this star there are more transits at day 41.4, 81.2, 120.8, 160.6, 200.3, 240.1, 279.8, 319.1, 358.8 and 398.6, so there is obviously a planet with a 40 day orbit. The planet is probably around the size of Saturn up to Jupiter.

This star is also listed by Kepler as a star with a potential planet.
