# Where Is the Flux Going? The Long-term Photometric Variability of Boyajian's Star

Joshua D. Simon, Benjamin J. Shappee, Grzegorz Pojmański et al., 2018.

**Tabby's star (KIC 8462852)** Articledoi: **[10.3847/1538-4357/aaa0c1](https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aaa0c1)** 0

## What it's used for here

ASAS-SN 2015-2017: fade of 6.3 +/- 1.4 mmag per year, more extreme than 99.4 per cent of 1,078 comparison stars; ASAS V 2006-2017 shows brightening 2006-07, dimming 2009-13 (15.8 +/- 1.5 mmag/yr) and brightening around 2014, so a straight line is a poor description. The modern-era reference for the fade's non-monotonic history.
