Montet and Simon published a manuscript on the irregularities with KIC 8462852. They conclude:
There is no known or proposed stellar phenomenon
that can fully explain all aspects of the observed light
curve. Non-stellar explanations, such as circumstellar
material, o er the best opportunity to provide an expla-
nation for the observed light curve, but simple models
are unable to match the light curve as observed over the
last century. We strongly encourage further refinements,
alternative hypotheses, and new data in order to explain
the full suite of observations of this very mysterious ob-
ject.
