List of stars that have unusual dimming periods information
Stars that dim in an odd way
This list of stars that have unusual dimming periods is a table of stars that have been observed to darken and brighten and do not appear to be eclipsing binaries or intrinsic variables. It is based on studies searching for analogs of Tabby's Star.[1][2]
The listing here is ordered alphabetically.
