a variable star belonging to the recurrent novae, located southeast of η CRB. Two flares have been observed. In 1866, it increased its apparent brightness from 10.8mag to 2mag, and in the second outburst in 1946 it increased to only 3mag. At present, this star is only 10th magnitude. The star also occasionally explodes and ejects large amounts of gas. However, unlike the R CRB, it becomes very bright with each explosion.
