Hon, Rappaport et al. on “A Disintegrating Rocky Planet with Prominent Comet-like Tails Around a Bright Star” with an orbital period of 1.27 days, this is a fascinating fourth example of this type of object. The eclipses vary from one orbit to another. 🔭🪐 #astrodon

Several panels showing the brightness of the star as a function of time. The star is blocked by a dust tail which creates a light curve with an initially steep drop, followed by a slow rise back to the normal flux of the star. Each eclipse has a slightly different depth and shape.
