Light Curves
raw spo Can you see the small sinusoidal variation in this LC? No? See the plot below...
10x zoom of previous LC plot, showing a statistically significant 4-hr variation.
raw spo Is there a small sinusoidal variation buried in this LC? See next zoomed LC.
The sinusoid fit isn't statistically significant (2-sigma). The overall curvature is again correlated with air mass, just like 2 days earlier, suggesting that the target's color is bluer than the average of reference stars.
raw spo Do you see the 2-hr periodicity in this LC? The graph below shows this LC zoomed by a factor 10.
The amplitude is statistically significantt at the 3-sigma level. The overall slope is correlated with air mass so it resembles "air mass curvature" - which is usually caused by the target star having a different color from the average of the reference stars.
