The First Post-Kepler Brightness Dips of KIC 8462852
Tabetha S. Boyajian, Roi Alonso, Alex Ammerman et al., 2018. The Astrophysical Journal Letters 853(1), L8.
Results of the crowd-funded 2017 monitoring campaign, mainly with the Las Cumbres Observatory network. Four dips of 1 to 2.5 per cent (named Elsie, Celeste, Skara Brae and Angkor) show no change in the stellar spectrum or polarisation and are deeper in blue light than red, which favours optically thin dust with grains much smaller than 1 micron.
What it's used for here
The test that turned the argument towards dust; the source of the dip names and the colour result.
