9. [Abridged abstract:] We report ground-based spectrophotometry of KIC , during its first dimming events since the end of the Kepler mission. The dimmings show a clear colour-signature, and are deeper in visual blue wavelengths than in red ones.. Click on link below for press release and additional information.
