Light curve for Kepler-21b
Fig. 1.— Kepler light curve of HD 179070 covering Quarters 0 to 5. The top raw light curve covers 164 separate transit events for the small exoplanet orbiting the star. The middle panel shows a typical normalized section from the full light curve in which transits are visible (positions marked with dotted lines). The bottom panel shows the detrended, binned, and phase folded-data (see §6) overplotted by our model fit (red line).
