Astronomers have found that the young star V1180 Cassiopeiae shows a rare mix of accretion-driven brightening and dust-caused dimming. Based on nearly 25 years of observations, the study explains its long-standing variability and shows how early stellar growth is shaped by tightly linked accretion, extinction, and outflow processes.Astronomers have found that the young star V1180 Cassiopeiae shows a rare mix of accretion-driven brightening and dust-caused dimming.
