a cataclysmic variable star that jumps every two to three weeks from a minimum of about 13mag to a maximum of magnitude 9.6mag. But that's where its similarity to other variable stars of this type ends. In fact, its magnitude can stop in the declining phase and stay at its mean brightness for a very long time. It stays like this for several months before its magnitude starts to increase again - so the star fades.
