A cataclysmic variable star, which jumps every two to three weeks from a minimum around 13mag to a maximum with a magnitude of 9.6mag. However, its similarity to other variable stars of this type ends there. Its magnitude can actually stop decreasing and remain at a medium brightness level for a very long time. It stays like this for several months before its magnitude starts increasing again - the star is therefore weakening.
