The more papers I read about astronomy, the more I realise how utter confusion reigns there. I really get a good laugh at the pathetic explanations for and categorizations of variable stars. Most variable star brightness curves follow the very straightforward predictions of the BaT. Light travels across space at c+v relative to planet Earth, where v is the source's original speed wrt Earth at the instant the light arrives here.

Because all astronomy is based on the Earthly notion that the speed of light is fixed and doesn't affect our perception of very distant objects. What we see on Earth is pretty well real. What we observe at 1 billion LYs is an illusion and nothing like reality.

I used to take lovely photos of them. Flare stars are usually pretty dark red but every now and then emit a very large flare. I would categorize them as intrinsically variable.
