<p>Can anyone point me to source(s) that will help me read these graphs in detail, pls?</p>

<p>UPDATE: Just located <a href="http://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/applications/ETSS/Kepler_index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">NASA Exo-PLanet Archive</a> which looks like it might hold what iSeek. But further recommendations would be appreciated.</p>

Do you want to understand what has been done with the data that you see there, or what we can learn from fitted transit curves?

As part of a "crowd", helping classify data including, occasionally, transiting exo-planets, I would like to be able to go a little deeper into the interpretation of the graphics (I assume you've seen the above link to what might be "standard" representations, in which case I'm seeking a tutorial on their detailed interpretation. What exactly do the numbers on the graphs represent (not defined on the Zooniverse site); how does one interpret deviations from the classic patterns" See e.g. 2nd link I'll shortly add to the original Question, please.

Where can I find detail on interpreting the exo-planet transit-data graphics used in the Zooniverse Project?
