# Modelling the KIC8462852 light curves: compatibility of the dips and secular dimming with an exocomet interpretation

Mark C. Wyatt, Rik van Lieshout, Grant M. Kennedy et al., 2018.

**Tabby's star (KIC 8462852)** Articledoi: **[10.1093/mnras/stx2713](https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx2713)** 0

## What it's used for here

MNRAS 473, 5286. Shows dips and the Kepler-era fade can share one exocomet population on an eccentric orbit; a 16 per cent century fade, if optically thin, must have ended before the 2010 WISE 12-micron measurement, and the transiting material lies between 0.05 and 0.6 au.
