Characteristics of the light curve of KIC 4862625. A 23 day portion of the Kepler light curve illustrates various phenomena. Instrumental effects are labeled above the data; astrophysical effects are labeled below the data. We flagged two data points as a "glitch," and a gap in the data is visible at BJD = 2,455,217. The eccentric orbit of the EB is apparent from the fact that primary eclipse is not centered in time between the two secondary eclipses. The primary eclipse is ~1.4% deep. The red line illustrates the sine wave fit to the rotational modulation of the light curve. The secondary eclipses, the planetary transit, and the 2.6 day rotational modulation all have similar amplitudes, ~0.1%.
