Gam

Variable star

Its story

Gamma Doradus is the star that gave its name to an entire class of stellar variables: the slow, multi-mode pulsations modern astronomy now calls «Gamma Doradus variables». Only 67 light-years away, this F-type star breathes through subtle brightness changes — a near-imperceptible heartbeat that nonetheless redefined a chapter of pulsation astrophysics.
