[Orig: March 30, 2018] Hi everyone, New data taken the past couple days show that the brightness is back to normal, or perhaps just below normal. Have a great weekend! ~Tabby and team PS: These observations are happening because of the wonderful backers of our 2016 Kickstarter project. The Kickstarter campaign has ended, but we are still accepting donations to purchase additional observing time on the LCO 0.4m network. Thanks in advance for your support! #TJO

[Orig: March 27, 2018] Hi everyone, Brief post today with new data from TFN (bad weather continues at ELP and OGG). The flux is going back up compared to the previous night, but still ~2% below normal. ~Tabby and team PS: These observations are happening because of the wonderful backers of our 2016 Kickstarter project. The Kickstarter campaign has ended, but we are still accepting donations to purchase additional observing time on the LCO 0.4m network. Thanks in advance for y

[Orig: March 26, 2018] Hi everyone, Today we have some very big news - data taken at TFN last night show the flux is down 5%. This drop has now been confirmed by AAVSO observer John Hall. Looks like we beat the record set just last week on the deepest dip observed since Kepler! The light curves below come in two flavors: full May2017 to now and a close-up just showing March 2018. The orange points on the close-up graph are from colleagues at the TJO observatory. ~Tabby and t

[Orig: March 25, 2018] Hello everyone, A dip in brightness began Friday (2018 March 16). Here is the updated light curve with a measurement from TFN (forecast is pretty bad at ELP and OGG). The star is now 2% dimmer in r'-band!! Stay tuned! ~Tabby and team PS: These observations are happening because of the wonderful backers of our 2016 Kickstarter project.

[Orig: March 24, 2018] Hello everyone, A dip in brightness began Friday (2018 March 16). Here is the updated light curve with a measurement from TFN (bad weather at ELP and OGG). Its possible that the brightness is dipping again! Wishing clear skies to observers around the world, ~Tabby and team PS: These observations are happening because of the wonderful backers of our 2016 Kickstarter project.

[Orig: March 23, 2018] Hello everyone, A dip in brightness began Friday (2018 March 16). Here is the updated light curve with a measurement from TFN (bad weather at ELP and OGG). Ive also added points from TJO (in Catalonia, see here for reference), which are plotted in orange. TJO is around the same longitude as TFN, which means the star is visible around the same time of night at each location. Recall that in paper linked above, data from TJO were used to corroborate as w

[Orig: March 22, 2018] Hello everyone, A dip in brightness began Friday (2018 March 16). Here is the updated light curve as of an hour ago including two new measurements from TFN and ELP. We now show these data in two graphs. The first is the full light curve from 2017 May until now. The second is a close up view showing the beginning of 2018 observing season until now. The profile of the new dip having a slow decline with a more rapid increase is again reminiscent to that o

[Orig: March 21, 2018] Hello everyone, A dip in brightness began Friday (2018 March 16). Two new measurements are available from TFN and ELP (Tenerife and Texas), showing that the brightness is not quite back up to normal. More later! ~Tabby and team PS: These observations are happening because of the wonderful backers of our 2016 Kickstarter project. The Kickstarter campaign has ended, but we are still accepting donations to purchase additional observing time on the LCO 0.4m

[Orig: March 20, 2018] Hello everyone, On Friday (2018 March 16) we noted the last data taken were significantly down compared to normal. Yesterday's post revealed the deepest dip we have observed since the Kepler Mission in 2013! Two new measurements are available from TFN and ELP (Tenerife and Texas), they are shown in the graph below (note the re-scaling of the y-axis and the expansion of the x-axis). More later! ~Tabby and team PS: These observations are happening becaus

[Orig: March 19, 2018] Hello everyone, On Friday (2018 March 16) we noted the last data taken were significantly down compared to normal. Due to poor weather conditions at all 3 sites we weren't able to observe the star again until last night... This is the deepest dip we have observed since the Kepler Mission in 2013! WOW!! More later! ~Tabby and team PS: These observations are happening because of the wonderful backers of our 2016 Kickstarter project. The Kickstarter camp
