A visual band light curve for GQ Lupi. The main plot (from ASAS data[1]), shows the long-term variability, and the inset plot (adapted from Broeg et al.[2]) shows the short-term periodic brightness variation.
GQ Lupi is a T Tauri variable star approximately 495 light-years away[3] in the constellation of Lupus.[5] The star is young and has about 70% of the Sun's mass.[7]
