In a period of 3.38 days, the brightness of this eclipsing variable star of Algol type changes from 6.6 mag to 9.2 mag. It is suitable for observation even with a small telescope, as the changes near the beginning and end of the minimum can be observed within a few minutes. The eclipse, which occurs approximately once every three and a half days, lasts for approximately one hour and forty minutes. The primary component is a blue main sequence star, while the larger but fainter companion is a yellow giant. |
