Both peak finding methods applied: square symbols show LC data points, with a fifth-order polynomial fitted to the seven highest values. The right of the vertical lines indicates the LC peak from this method. The small dots below are the SC data points, shifted by 1000e downward for better visibility. The peak of the SC data, derived with the smoothing method, is shown by the left of the vertical lines. The two times indicated by the two lines differ by 4 minutes. This is also the average deviation for SC vs. LC data. Times are in Barycentric Julian Date (MJD − 2,454,833).
