Usage examples

nova-like variable
Usage examples
  • All nova-like variables have some properties in common: they do not show large outburst activity (though they may be found in "high" or "low," "on" or "off" states), so they are neither novae nor dwarf novae, but in one way or another they look like a dwarf nova in some stage of activity.
