Light curves of KIC 9656397 from the Kepler database. (a) Full light curve showing both primary and secondary eclipses. (b) Out-of-eclipse variations with an amplitude of approximately 0.02 mag, suggesting surface activity or rotational modulation. (c) Phase-folded light curve highlighting the overall morphology. (d) Close-up view of the secondary eclipse, which is offset from phase 0.5, indicating an eccentric orbit. (e) Close-up view of the primary eclipse.
